Manchester City is getting closer to signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Erling Haaland this summer.
However, others have questioned whether the Norwegian striker would be a good match for Pep Guardiola's style of play.
We've teamed up with MBP School of Coaches to see if Haaland would fit in at City and, if so, how he and his team could improve as a result.
Manchester City's tactical review
We'll look down the two major movements that Haaland uses to score goals to determine if they have a place in this City side.
Playing balls in behind the full-back for a player coming in from the second line, who may then play a dangerous ball into the box, is their most common approach.
It is vital to have a striker in the box to attack the ball and finish chances for this to succeed.
Crosses from zone A into a dangerous position within the box are the second method we've found, and they require a striker to finish.
Haaland's analysis
Let's switch our attention to Haaland now that we've looked at the two key attacking movements used by Guardiola's team.
With his rapid acceleration, the 21-year-old is exceptional at detecting weaknesses in the opposition's defense and attacking vital gaps.
As a result, he'd be able to charge into the box and get on the end of the crosses that City's players so often deliver.
The Borussia Dortmund striker excels at all types of finishes and virtually always assures strong contact and accuracy.
After studying Manchester City's attacking moves and Haaland's goal-scoring ability, it's evident that he'd be a fantastic match for Guardiola's team.
Given the striker's ambition to grow every day and Guardiola's ability to create precise situations to maximize his players' skills, the MBP School of Coaches believes this may be a match made in heaven.
