Bundesliga player Serie A clubs should target No. 2: Erling Haaland

The towering Norwegian striker Erling Haaland could very well end up in England as his stock also continues to rise. How can it not be since he’s averaging about a goal a game in the Bundesliga.

The Borussia Dortmund forward reminds Serie A fans of former Lazio star Igli Tare for both his height and blond hair. Imagine Haaland at Lazio playing alongside Ciro Immobile. It would make for a very powerful scoring duo up top as the Rome-based club continues to hunt for a league title.

At the moment, it looks as if the 19-year-old Haaland would look to be a great fit anywhere, but that hasn’t stopped Liverpool from considering him. That would be a great place for him since Haaland is certainly looking to sign with a club that can compete for both domestic titles and the Champions League.

Bayern’s lock on the Bundesliga makes that impossible for Haaland at the moment. That means he’s very likely to go somewhere else this summer — that destination, for now, still a mystery.
