Burnley striker Lyle Foster has said that he wants to emulate Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland.
The £8 million [Far Post] man told iDiski Times in an interview that he aims to add the Norwegian’s goalscoring knack to his game, as he witnessed the phenomenon score a hat-trick against Vincent Kompany’s side in the FA Cup quarter-final.
Much like any up-and-coming striker in world football, Burnley talent Lyle Foster is keeping a close eye on Manchester City No.9 Erling Haaland.
Burnley frontman Lyle Foster opens up about Erling Haaland ambition
Coming off the back of scoring a ridiculous 5 goals against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, the Norwegian hitman bagged three against the Clarets in a 6-0 rout for Pep Guardiola’s side.
As Erling Haaland made the headlines against Burnley for all the right reasons, Lyle Foster admitted that he aims to emulate the most in-form striker in European football.
“Score goals, that’s all I see him do, his movement, just the way he positions himself, it’s crazy, every rebound comes to him and some people might think it’s luck but if he does it so often, it has to be intentional.”
“It all has to do with his movement so definitely his movement and scoring goals is something I can learn.”
Lyle Foster should study the Manchester City man’s game
As Burnley forward Lyle Foster said, while many think Erling Haaland is simply fortuitous to be in goalscoring positions, the reality of the situation is that his positioning and instincts for sniffing out chances are second to none.
Considering Haaland is Europe’s leading goalscorer with 42 goals across all competitions, Foster should study his game and try to incorporate his knack of being in the right place at the right time as well.
Ultimately, idolizing players of such a high calibre is how one reaches the top themselves.
