Kane would be better suited for Man City than Haaland, claims Thierry Henry

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry believes Manchester City would be stronger with Harry Kane rather than Erling Haaland.

Haaland

who joined

Manchester City

last summer has scored 31 goals in just 29 games, but there are suggestions that Pep Guardiola’s side is not as consistent as before due to Haaland’s presence.

Ahead of Manchester City’s clash with Premier League leaders Arsenal on Wednesday, Thierry Henry claimed that

Harry Kane

would have been a better fit for Guardiola’s side.

He told CBS Sport: ”

I would say that if I had to build a team to win.

"For example, I thought Man City were going to go for Harry Kane. We all know they wanted him but I thought they were going to come back in.

"I thought he is the typical striker for city. I think it would've been better.

"He became complete, he became an all-around player and this is what I like about him.

"We all know what he can do and all know what he can do in the box, but what he does outside of the box now for his team this is something that I have to respect massively. He became for me, over the last two, three years, a complete striker."

Haaland has scored 25 goals in the Premier League, but Henry believes Manchester City has become more predictable with him this season.

"We all know when Kevin De Bruyne has the ball he can find him,"

he added.

"There was one piece of advice that Arsene Wenger gave me that stayed with me, he said: 'What can you do when your team is not feeding you?'

"I think he did stop what they were about. They had a certain way of playing. I think they are more predictable."
