Manchester City won 5-1 over Wolverhampton last night and are eyeing gold in the Premier League.

The focus of today’s British paper newspapers? Erling Braut Haaland.

One of Kevin De Bruyne’s celebrations – who scored four goals – was linked to Haaland’s yoga celebration against Paris Saint-Germain in 2020.

De Bruyne denied after the game that the celebrations had anything to do with Haaland. But British paper newspapers are very loose these days.

First and foremost, there is the ecstasy that the world’s most coveted footballer will go to the Premier League. But there’s no shortage of warnings, including from the profile of Germany’s Dietmar Hamann.

“I was surprised by the transfer,” the former Liverpool and Manchester City man told the newspaper Picture.

– Pep Guardiola prefers to play as a striker, and often brings in Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling. Haaland doesn’t really fit in here. I thought until recently that he would end up elsewhere.
