FIFA Club World Cup winner Sami Khedira is backing Manchester City's Erling Haaland to be top scorer at this year's FIFA Club World Cup, after the striker signed a new long term deal with the defending Premier League champions.
The tournament will be broadcast live and for free on DAZN and will see 32 of the world's best club teams compete in a new format.
One of the teams who will be competing is City who lifted the trophy in 2023 and enter the competition as defending champions.
With City's vast financial resources, the club have managed to put together a team of football superstars including Haaland who are led by manager Pep Guardiola.
After winning back-to-back Premier League golden boots during his time at the Etihad Stadium, it should be no surprise that Haaland is being tipped by the former Real Madrid midfielder to rule the goalscoring charts at the tournament.
"I think Haaland will be the top scorer," Khedira told DAZN at the launch of the Club World Cup Trophy Tour in New York.
"Haaland is a beast, he’s such a young guy and really hungry about scoring goals.
"He’s impressed me a lot, he’s a good guy."
Haaland's future at City has frequently been debated, with Real Madrid constantly rumoured with a move for the Norwegian. However, the Spanish giant's chances of signing the striker have taken a major hit, after City announced a new 10-year contract for Haaland.
With the 24-year-old's future tied down, City can fully prepare for this upcoming Club World Cup campaign which gets underway on June 18 against Wydad AC.
