Liverpool great John Barnes believes Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland would struggle in the Premier League.
The mercurial rise of Haaland at Borussia Dortmund has drawn links with the likes of Manchester City, United and Chelsea, along with the top teams in Spain, Italy and France.
Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are already known to have held meetings with the player’s agent Mino Raiola.
Speaking to bettingOdds.com, Barnes said: “I think Haaland would be better suited to one of the big clubs in Spain.
“It’s interesting because if you look at him as a player, he is a very physical player and he bullies a lot of the players in Germany. In Spain you can do that but in the Premier League you can’t.
“In the Premier League a physical player is nothing because we have loads of physical players and not enough technical players, so if Haaland comes to England he’s not going to go and bully Brighton’s centre-backs, so for that reason I think he would have a much bigger impact in La Liga.”
