Pep Guardiola: Erling Haaland will help us score more | Kevin De Bruyne 'beyond perfect'

 After praising "beyond perfect" Kevin De Bruyne following his four-goal haul vs Wolves, Pep Guardiola said on Erling Haaland's impending arrival: "Definitely, he can help us score more."

Pep Guardiola sent out a frightening message to the Premier League that he thinks Erling Haaland will help already free-scoring Man City score even more next season.

Kevin De Bruyne scored four goals as City overwhelmed Wolves 5-1 at Molineux to go three points clear at the top of the Premier League table and move within four points of the title.


The brilliant Belgian


has now scored eight goals in his last eight Premier League games as his influence in the final third is proving to be one of the main reasons behind City's relentless title push.

Guardiola said: "What can I say? The second part of the league he has been beyond perfect.

"He is a guy who is always so generous, always has the sense to make the assist. But I think this season he has also had the sense to be prolific to score goals. He scored against Chelsea, he scored against Madrid, and he has been decisive scoring goals. In the end this is what makes the greatest.

"I am very pleased for him because, of course, scoring four goals in the decisive part of the league it is so important."

De Bruyne is now City's top goalscorer in the Premier League with 15 goals to his name, taking him to a personal record goal-haul in a single season. Goals in big games have been scored too with De Bruyne on target in both fixtures with Liverpool and in the 1-0 win over Chelsea in January.
