Former Chelsea and Norway star Tore Andre Flo is convinced Erling Haaland will settle quickly at Manchester City.
Haaland smashed 86 goals in his two-and-a-half seasons with Borussia Dortmund.
Flo, now Sogndal coach, told The Sun: “Missing out on the (World Cup) finals is obviously a massive disappointment to Erling, but that could be a huge advantage to City.
“It gives him an extra month or so to get to know his new club and to work with boss Pep Guardiola.
“And, of course, to be fitter and fresher than coming back from a very intense tournament.”
He added: “When people talk of having a striker’s instinct, that’s one thing, but to combine it with his quality is not something you see very often.
“Of course there will be a lot of pressure on him at City — but don’t forget he will be playing with a lot more quality around him as well. It just seems to be the perfect fit for both.
“With the type of players he’ll be playing with and the way he scores his goals, they just really look made for each other.
“City put a lot of low balls to the far post and, if you’re a natural goalscorer, that’s what you dream of.
“He will get on the end of so many of them.
“He’s so sharp at getting in front of defenders, first to so many crosses.
“High or low, he doesn’t care, he just gets on the end of them and usually scores — he really strikes the ball so cleanly.”
