Haaland compared to the leading scorers in Europe top 5 leagues - including Kane

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has come under scrutiny in recent weeks for his below-par performances.

As it stands, Haaland is the Premier League top scorer with 18 goals in 24 appearances for Pep Guardiola's side.

While his numbers remain impressive, they represent a drop-off from his debut 52-goal campaign last term.

Former midfielder Roy Keane labelled the Norwegian a 'League Two player' following Manchester City's 0-0 draw with Arsenal

And MailSport have decided to compare his level of performances to some of Europe's deadliest attackers this season thanks to Opta.

In comparison to Bayern Munich's Harry Kane, Haaland has a shot accuracy of 57.14% while the former has 61.11 per 90 minutes

The City striker also averages less shots on target, winning goals,  non-penalty goals take-ones and fouls won. His conversion rate is also lower at 23.38% compared to Kane's 34.44

Haaland does, however, beat the Englishman in chances created and touches in the opposition box.

Between Haaland and Mbappe, the latter comes out clear in every department, especially in his 2.5 take-ons completed, touches in the option box and conversion rate of 29.63%.

The PSG star has shone this season with 39 goals across all competition as they close in on another Ligue 1 title.

Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez is another striker that has taken Europe by storm this season, and he fares relatively well in comparison to Haaland.

The Argentinian has a higher shot accuracy of 61.19%, non-penalty goals scored, a conversion rate which is more than 10% higher than Haaland's as well as take-ons and fouls won.

Haaland only beats Martinez in touches in the opposition box and two shots on target compared to the latter's 1.7.

While he may not be a striker, Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham has fared much better than his City counterpart.

The England international clears Haaland with his impressive 70% shot accuracy, 40% conversion rate, 38 chances created, 39 take-ons completed and 66 fouls won.

In fact, Haaland only exceeds Bellingham in shots on target and touches in the opposition box which will come as no surprise given he's a striker.

The two players will face-off next Tuesday when City and Real go head-to-head in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
