Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has sung the praises of PSG rival Kylian Mbappe.

With Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's ongoing battle coming to an end, football fans are expecting Haaland and Mbappe to takeover.

Speaking to Canal Plus, the Manchester City forward spoke incredibly positively on the 'phenomenal' PSG star.

Haaland said: "There are so many good players and Kylian is one of them. He is so strong! The French are so lucky that he plays for France.

"I would like him to play for Norway obviously, but it's not the case. But yes, he's an incredible player."

The Norway international was also in awe that Mbappe is still only 24 years old - despite all he has achieved in football.

"He's so fast, so strong and he's been doing it for so many years. What is he? Two years older than me? It's crazy!

"Sometimes you have to tell yourself that he still has ten years of playing at the top level. He is phenomenal."
