Red Bull Salzburg striker, Erling Haaland has come out to say that he finds it easy to deal with the transfer speculation that has trailed his brilliant run of goalscoring form this season.
The youngster is playing well this term with 8 goals in 5 UCL matches and 16 in 14 matches in the Austrian Bundesliga.
If Erling should score vs Liverpool today in their Group E finale that can send the holders parking, he will become the first player to score in his first 6 UCL matches.
Speaking recently on the rumors surrounding what his next move would be, he said he has little interest in all that right now.
His words, “I just focus on my job, playing football, and to enjoy what I do every day and to go in with a clear mindset, to be in the present, and enjoy the moment right now,” he told a press conference.
“That’s my focus, to focus on Salzburg and me as a player. So it’s not hard at all [dealing with transfer speculation]. I’m enjoying every day and playing football.”
Klopp also praised the youngster, “He is 19 years old and he is a very good striker, so how do you defend him? Try to make sure he doesn’t get many balls. He is a big, big talent.
“Like the best strikers, you try to cut the ball from them. But he’s not the only strong player they [Salzburg] have.”
“He is a wonderful player: very young, very confident, very quick,” he said. “He looks clear-minded and focused on the pitch.
“He looks a decent player and is in the perfect place at the moment.”
