‘Complete’ Harry Kane would’ve been better than Erling Haaland for Man City
Harry Kane would've been a better fit at Manchester City than Erling Haaland according to Thierry Henry – who has offered some priceless advice to the Norway hotshot.
The two-time Premier League winning Arsenal icon has given his thoughts on the pair while on Champions League punditry duty, lavishing praise on the Tottenham and England man after he became their highest ever goalscorer.
The conversation then moved onto Haaland, who joined City the summer after they failed in their bid for Kane, scoring 31 goals in 29 matches but might not be at his peak.

Henry began on CBS Sports when asked how Kane has managed to reach his current level: "Consistency, work ethic, quality."
He continued: "I remember when he first arrived on the scene I was like: 'Let him play two, three, four years to see if he's going to be the guy'. Then became a great player. Now he's a player that I respect a lot."
Henry explained how in an interview he did with Kane in the past, the striker outlined his desire to become a team player rather than just a goal scorer, which he has gone on to do.

Speaking over a selection of clips which showed Kane working for Spurs off the ball, Henry added: "He became complete, he became an all around player and this is what I like about him."
Concluding: "We all know what he can do and all know what he can do in the box, but what he does outside of the box now for his team this is something that I have to respect massively. He became for me, over the last two, three years, a complete striker."
When asked if having Kane in their team over Haaland would've made City better, Henry said: "I think so. I think it would've been better."
Saying of Haaland: "There was one piece of advice that Arsene Wenger gave me that stayed with me, he said: 'What can you do when your team is not feeding you'."
Henry went on to explain how he had to learn the qualities of his team-mates and what made them good individually, telling Haaland to do the same with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva.
He concluded: "I think sometimes Haaland is making the same run, whoever is on the ball."
