Tottenham star Harry Kane admits Erling Haaland deserves credit for a “fantastic” start to life in a Manchester City shirt.
Haaland has scored 20 goals in 15 games since joining the Etihad Stadium in a £51m deal over the summer.
The 22-year-old has already broken a number of Premier League records and looks set to run away with the Golden Boot.
Kane, meanwhile, has enjoyed a strong start to the 2022/23 campaign himself, with eight goals in 12 games.
But his performances were overshadowed by Haaland’s unprecedented form.
City attempted to sign Kane in the summer of 2021 but Spurs rejected a final offer of £150m for the 29-year-old.
Asked about Haaland’s form, the England captain said: “He’s had a fantastic start to the season and all the credit goes to him, but it’s nothing I can control.
“I focus on what I can do and help the team in any way I can.
“It’s been going well so far in the Premier League. I want to try to score a few more goals in the Champions League, that’s for sure.
“People talk about him and rightly so because he got off to a fantastic start.
“We have a long way to go and there are a lot of games to come. I just focus on what I can do. »
