Commenting on the prolific striker, Howe said earlier this season: I love working with Alex and I wouldn’t swap him for anyone.

“We’ve got a good relationship and he’s got a good relationship with his team-mates. We’ve tried to help him by moulding our style of play to suit his game. I really respect Erling, obviously, and what he’s done in his career is unbelievable, but we really love Alex.

“You look at Haaland’s consistency over a long period of time and there’s no doubting that and Alex is certainly doing the same. Since he’s come to this club, I think he’s been sensational for us.”
