Mikel on Haaland: "I want to see Erling step up in big matches like Messi"

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has shared his thoughts on the goal-scoring prowess of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.

"He scores a lot of goals, but I want to see him do it in the big matches, like Messi used to. Yes, he's a machine, brilliant at what he does. There's no doubt about that, no one disputes it," Mikel told Daily Mail.

On 14 September, the 24-year-old Haaland became the first player to score nine goals in the opening four rounds of the Premier League.
