Erling Haaland's rare dip in form has shifted attention toward a teenage French forward making his mark in his debut Premier League season.

Erling Haaland's three league goals in a crucial four‑month stretch cost Manchester City the title, and the club is now eyeing a 19‑year‑old French talent who has already netted 13 Premier League strikes.

Last season Erling Haaland endured a rare drought, netting only three league goals between mid‑December and mid‑April. The dip in his output coincided with a slump that saw Manchester City relinquish the Premier League crown, underscoring how heavily the club’s title hopes have leaned on the Norwegian striker. With Haaland’s rhythm disrupted, the Manchester side have been forced to confront a glaring vulnerability: the absence of a proven backup who can consistently find the net. Manager Pep Guardiola has publicly expressed reservations about relying on a single focal point, while former manager Enzo Maresca has hinted that the club might look elsewhere for a more balanced attack. Enter a 19‑year‑old French forward who arrived from Ligue 2 side Lorient over the summer. The youngster, who previously lit up the French second division with 22 goals, has quickly adapted to English football, already tallying 13 Premier League strikes – the highest tally for a teenager in his debut season. His seamless transition has sparked excitement among analysts and fans alike, who see in him a potential solution to City’s striking dilemma. Though his price tag reflects the premium placed on such promise, the early evidence suggests the investment could pay dividends if he continues to deliver. The narrative also brings into focus the broader context of Manchester City’s squad planning. While Omar Marmoush has been mentioned as an option, many view the French prodigy as a more dynamic prospect, capable of adding a new dimension to Guardiola’s attacking play.

With the window heating up, several high‑profile players are linked with new destinations, sparking speculation across the continent.

After two seasons that delivered a Premier League crown but also a series of setbacks, Arne Slot was dismissed by Liverpool. The fallout with Mohamed Salah and the reactions of key teammates accelerated the decision, while former Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola emerges as the leading candidate to take over.

Liverpool’s 2025‑26 campaign unraveled in spectacular fashion, culminating in the sacking of Arne Slot after a season marked by a steep points regression, porous defence and a costly recruitment drive.

After a Premier League fifth‑place finish and missed Champions League qualification, Liverpool has terminated the contract of Arne Slot, who had won the league in his debut season.
