'My record will go one day': Alan Shearer backs Erling Haaland to become record Premier League scorer

17 January, 18:16

In two and a half years since coming to Man City, Erling Haaland has scored 79 goals in the Premier League.

He has just signed a new contract that would keep him at the Etihad for almost a decade.

Alan Shearer who currently holds the all-time Premier League record with 260 goals believes Haaland has a chance to overcome him.

"If he stays for that long, no doubt he will break that record," Shearer told BBC.

"My record will go one day. It might be someone else's by then – like Harry Kane or Mohamed Salah.

"There were great goalscorers before I was born that have incredible records as well.

"My record will go one day, I'm sure of that."
