Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has heaped praise on new teammate Omar Marmoush, describing him as an “incredible player” after his impressive debut against Chelsea on Saturday.
Marmoush made an instant impact, helping Manchester City come from behind to defeat Chelsea 3-1 in the Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium. Haaland, who has been in scintillating form himself, was quick to acknowledge Marmoush’s exceptional talent.
“I think especially in the first-half you can see he has something special,” Haaland said in the post-match interview. “There’s a reason City brought him because he has something special. He got straight into the team, and it’s about getting to know him as soon as possible because there are so many important games coming.”
Haaland believes that Marmoush has all the qualities necessary to excel in the English Premier League. “It’s about giving him confidence, and he’s going to be a fantastic player for us,” he added.
The Norwegian striker, who has experience of being a new player in a team, welcomed Marmoush’s arrival and the fresh energy he brings. “It’s always nice (to have new faces). I’ve been a new player before, trying to come in with a different energy and different personality,” Haaland said.
Marmoush’s impressive debut has raised hopes among Manchester City fans, and Haaland is optimistic that the Egyptian winger will replicate his outstanding form from the first half of the season with Eintracht Frankfurt. “He had an amazing first half of the season for Eintracht Frankfurt, and hopefully, he’s going to have the same season with us now for the second half of the season,” Haaland concluded.
