Arsenal legend Henry: Kane a better fit for Man City than Haaland

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry says Tottenham striker Harry Kane would've been a better fit for Manchester City than Erling Haaland.

Haaland has forced City manager Pep Guardiola to change their style of play this season.

Henry said, "I would say that if I had to build a team to win. For example, I thought Man City would go for Harry Kane. We all know they wanted him (at an earlier stage) but I thought they would try again.

"I thought he was the typical striker for City. I think he would have been better (than Haaland). He became complete, he became an all-rounder and that's what I like about him. We all know what he can do and we all know what he can do in the box, but what he is doing outside the box now for his team, this is something that I have to respect enormously.

"He became a complete striker in the last two, three years."
