Erling Haaland will be “unstoppable” for Manchester City once he reaches full fitness, according to team-mate Jack Grealish.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former Borussia Dortmund striker completed his blockbuster move to the Etihad Stadium earlier this month after the Premier League champions activated his \u00a351.2million release clause.<\/p>\n

Widely regarded as one of the world’s best centre-forwards, Haaland is expected to shine for the Citizens under Pep Guardiola this season.<\/p>\n

An unused substitute against Club America, City’s new number nine could don the blue shirt for the first time when Guardiola’s men face Bayern Munich on Sunday as their pre-season tour of the States continues.<\/p>\n

Grealish, who smashed the British transfer record with his \u00a3100million move from Aston Villa last summer, is well aware of the expectations that will be placed on Haaland.<\/p>\n

And though just a few weeks into his City career, the winger has already been hugely impressed by the 22-year-old.<\/p>\n

Grealish said: “He actually said to me: ‘I’m only half the price of you, so I haven’t got the pressure!’<\/p>\n

“Obviously, there\u2019s always going to be big expectations, but nowadays you have to deal with it.<\/p>\n

“I suppose if [Erling] misses a chance or whatever then people are always going to have something to say.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve had to get used to it myself. But Erling is a great guy; a brilliant guy. The first day that I met him ,we took a car together and after that ride, I thought \u2018what a guy.\u2019<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s so down to earth and quite up front with the way he is. You get used to that. He\u2019s looked good in training and once he reaches full fitness, [he] will be unstoppable.<\/p>\n

“I can\u2019t wait to play with him and I\u2019m really looking forward to it.”<\/p>\n

The England international also hailed Julian Alvarez, who signed from River Plate in January before spending the remainder of the campaign with the Argentine giants.<\/p>\n

The young striker impressed on his first appearance for City against Club America, playing the opening 71 minutes before being replaced by Liam Delap.<\/p>\n

And Grealish believes the 22-year-old’s style of play is reminiscent of a veteran Premier League striker.<\/p>\n

“Julian was brilliant [against Club America],” he added.<\/p>\n

“He actually reminds me of [Jamie] Vardy, the way he presses, can finish and runs in behind.\u201d<\/p>\n
