Man City defender Walker: Bale a better finisher than Haaland

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker admits he rates Gareth Bale as a better finisher than Erling Haaland.

Walker played with Bale at Tottenham.

He told Five: “What did I think of the Welshman's season? If I have played with a better player than that Bale of 2012/13? No.

“And I have played with scorers like Erling Haaland, but everything Bale shot that season from anywhere was in the back of the net."

In the 2012/13 season and before signing for Real Madrid, Bale had a total of 26 goals and 7 assists. The season in which he was closest to reaching these numbers again was his debut with Real, 2013/14, in which he scored 22 goals and provided 15 assists.
