      So where does SunSport’s Ben Hunt put the Mercedes man, alongside Ayrton Senna and seven-time champ Schumacher?
      Check out his full run-down of the top 10 below.10. Fernando Alonso
      World titles – 2
      The Spaniard is a remarkable driver, blessed with skill, pace and a cunning that means he should have more than the two F1 titles he owns.
      But for poor choice when it comes to making decisions about which teams to race for, he should have been rivalling Hamilton for titles.
      9. Sir Stirling Moss
      World titles – 0
      Without doubt the best driver never to win a Formula One world title.
      Fabulously charming and such a wonderful character.
      The Brit won 212 of the 529 races he entered.
      8. Alain Prost
      World titles – 4
      The Frenchman enjoyed a titanic battle with Senna for F1 supremacy.
      For what he lost out in natural ability compared to the Brazilian, he made up for it with ruthlessness and dedication.
      A smooth driver in the same mould as Stewart and Clark.
      7. Niki Lauda
      World titles – 3
      Tenacious competitor both on and off track.
      A true hero after coming back from suffering horrific burns in 1976 following a crash at the Nurburgring only to make an astonishing comeback just six weeks later.
      He won the F1 title the following season.

      6. Sir Jackie Stewart
      World titles – 3
      Won his three world titles during a dangerous period in Formula One’s history.
      Stewart saw countless competitors perish in the cockpit and set about making safety improvements.
      A wonderfully measured driver who was also calm behind the wheel.

      5. Juan Manuel Fangio
      World titles – 5
      One of the pioneers of Formula One, Fangio won an incredible five world titles when the sport was in its infancy.
      With safety at a minimum and reliability commonplace, the Argentine was a remarkably consistent performer.
      4. Jim Clark
      World titles – 2
      The greatest driver of his generation, Clark was a two-time world champion and won 25 times in 72 starts – more than any other driver at the time.
      His versatility also saw him win the Indy 500, the British Touring Car Championship, the Tasman Series in Australian and New Zealand.
      3. Michael Schumacher
      World titles – 7
      All-time record hold for most wins (91) and titles (seven), Schumacher’s record stands as the best in F1 history.
      His meticulous focus and attention to details helped make him a multiple world champion, even if his racing methods were called into question.

      2. Ayrton Senna
      World titles – 3
      Supremely talented and wonderfully competitive.
      Senna’s raw talent over a single-lap made him a hero, as did his ability to win races in any conditions.
      Hugely passionate, he helped elevate the publicity of F1 to new levels.
      1. Lewis Hamilton
      World titles – 7
      Like Michael Schumacher and Aytron Senna before him, Hamilton has taken F1 to a new level when it comes to dominating races.
      Astonishingly consistent, brilliant over a qualifying lap and smart race-craft.
      Rarely makes a mistake. Always delivers.

      Cristiano Ronaldo selected five young wonderkids to watch for in 2015, but where are they all now?

      by

      IN 2015, Cristiano Ronaldo picked out his five favourite young stars to keep an eye on.Speaking ahead of the release of his biopic, Ronaldo, the Manchester United star, 36, revealed who he was tipping for stardom.
      In 2015, Ronaldo picked out his five young stars to watch, including Hazard and Pogba
      The then-Real Madrid forward hardly plumped for unheard of stars, but he was still eerily accurate with his suggestions.
      Ronaldo picked Martin Odegaard, Neymar, Eden Hazard, Paul Pogba and Memphis Depay as his top kids to watch.
      At the time, he said: “You see many players with potential, I will mention Odegaard of Madrid for example.
      “At 16 he’s still young but you can see he’s a very good player.
      “Hazard for example, the No7 of Manchester, Depay, is a good player too. Pogba… and maybe Neymar.”
      But how have the chosen five fared since being tipped for stardom by the five-time Ballon d’Or winner?
      MARTIN ODEGAARD
      Martin Odegaard is slowly starting to live up to his potential
      Age in 2015: 16
      Club in 2015: Real Madrid
      Age now: 22
      Club now: Arsenal
      JUST months before Ronaldo singled the Norwegian out for praise, Odegaard had left Stromsgodset to join Real Madrid.
      Huge things were expected of the wonderkid, who had already made his Norway debut aged just 15.
      However, whether it was the weight of expectation or failing to bulk up quickly enough, Odegaard struggled to make the cut at the Bernabeu.
      Odegaard played just eight times in LaLiga across his five years at Real and was loaned out to Heerenveen, Vitesse Arnhem and Real Sociedad.
      For that reason, the playmaker can’t be considered a ‘hit’.
      However, he relaunched his career at Arsenal – joining in January until the end of the season on loan.
      He made 20 appearances for the Gunners, scoring twice, which convinced Mikel Arteta to sign him on a permanent deal.
      Verdict: MISS (for now)

      NEYMAR
      Neymar has become one of the world’s top footballers since 2015
      Age in 2015: 23
      Club in 2015: Barcelona
      Age now: 29
      Club now: PSG
      ALREADY Brazil captain and a mainstay of the Barcelona team in 2015, Neymar was hardly a shock choice from Ronaldo.
      Neymar had already won LaLiga and the Champions League just months before Ronaldo’s praise.
      However, the brilliant Brazilian would go on to have arguably his best years after, winning the Spanish top-flight crown later that very season.
      Neymar later moved on to Paris Saint-Germain and took them to the Champions League final in 2020.
      Despite the occasional theatrics and a series of injuries hampering his progress, there’s no doubt Neymar has been a hit in world football.
      Verdict: HIT
      EDEN HAZARD
      Eden Hazard would enjoy some of his best years after Ronaldo’s praise
      Age in 2015: 24
      Club in 2015: Chelsea
      Age now: 30
      Club now: Real Madrid
      HAZARD had a tricky first season at Real following his mega-money move from Chelsea – with concerns over his weight and injuries. Those issues seeped into his last campaign, but he will be hopeful third time’s a charm.
      But there’s no doubting Hazard – who’d just won the Premier League Player of the Season en route to helping the Blues to the title in 2015 – had his best years after Ronaldo’s praise.
      There were times when the Belgian was absolutely unstoppable, with the 2018-19 season seemingly one long highlight reel.
      His hot form attracted the attention of Real, who spared no expense in signing him.
      After he admitted to being nearly a stone overweight, Hazard has struggled with injuries.
      Still in his prime years, aged 30, the best could be still to come from Hazard… if he can get fit and stay fit.
      Verdict: HIT
      PAUL POGBA
      Pogba went on to become a World Cup winner with France
      Age in 2015: 22
      Club in 2015: Juventus
      Age now: 28
      Club now: Man Utd
      A HOT prospect at Manchester United right up until his move to Juve in 2012, Pogba and Ronaldo never actually crossed paths at Old Trafford.
      A young Pogba was brought in from Le Havre in 2009 – the same summer Ronaldo headed to Real Madrid.
      The French star enjoyed easily his best years in Italy – winning a host of Serie A crowns and personal accolades, with spots in various Teams of the Year.
      Just a few months after Ronaldo’s praise, Pogba headed back to Man Utd for a then-world record £89million.
      Things have never quite clicked for the Frenchman back at Old Trafford – but he has displayed the occasional flash of brilliance and a desire to play for Real Madrid one day.
      His performances in leading France to the 2018 World Cup crown were truly elite and it’s impossible to not consider him a hit.
      Verdict: HIT
      MEMPHIS DEPAY
      Memphis Depay never quite lived up to the hype at Old Trafford
      Age in 2015: 21
      Club in 2015: Man Utd
      Age now: 27
      Club now: Barcelona
      DEPAY joined United in the summer of 2015 fresh from being crowned the Eredivisie’s top scorer at 21.
      But as has so often been the case down the years, the weight of moving to Old Trafford and being thrust into the spotlight hindered his progress massively.
      Depay spent two wholly underwhelming seasons in Manchester before being sold to Lyon in 2017.
      The Dutch star went on to carve out a solid career in France and now has 33 goals for the Netherlands, which brings him level with Johan Cruyff.
      After signing for Barcelona this season, he has started well for the Catalans with two goals in his first three games.
      Verdict: HIT (just)

      Alphonso Davies was wanted by Swansea in £3m transfer in 2017 but £100m wonderkid couldn’t get work permit

      by

      ALPHONSO DAVIES is tipped to become the world’s first £100million left-back if he leaves Bayern Munich.But the super-quick Canadian star could have signed for a Premier League club in 2017 for a bargain £3MILLION.

      Davies, 21, was a talented youngster at Vancouver Whitecaps and was offered around by top agent Dave Baldwin.
      Swansea led the race for the defender, who was recommended by his Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson.
      To the Swans, he looked a great investment and would have suited their style when they were in the top flight.
      Crystal Palace also liked Davies — who also plays as a wing-back — after watching him in action for his club.
      But Davies’ dream was shattered because of work permit regulations. He was a Liberian citizen who gained a Canadian passport.

      F1 ace Lewis Hamilton shows off £80k EQS electric Mercedes which goes 0-60mph in 4.5 secs and has holographic lights

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON has shown off his stunning electric motor – the Mercedes EQS.Formula 1 champ Hamilton talked up his decision to go green in a bid to protect the environment.
      Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton poses next to his Mercedes EQS
      The F1 champ says he is ‘working closely’ with Mercedes to move towards a more electric fleet
      The EQS, which was announced last year, is part of the two-car garage the Merc racer is sticking to off the track.
      Pairing the £80,000 saloon with a Smart car, Hamilton, 36, said he has offset the carbon footprint of his ENTIRE F1 career.
      Yet the EQS still packs a punch, going from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds with 470bhp generated by a 350 kW electric motor.
      Mercedes reckon a fully-charged EQS can even manage a range of 435 miles.
      Naturally, it is also packed full of toys including holographic headlights, a rear ‘lightbelt’ of over 200 LEDs, and ambient dashboard lighting.
      Posting a picture of himself beside the car, Hamilton wrote on Instagram: “Recently I’ve been making many changes in my life to reduce my impact on the environment.

      Generous Cristiano Ronaldo bought entire Juventus squad an iMac each to apologise for red card vs Valencia in 2018

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO was made to buy the ENTIRE Juventus squad iMacs after his 2018 red card against Valencia, revealed team-mate Wojciech Szczesny.On his Champions League debut for the Old Lady, the Portuguese superstar was reduced to tears after being red carded for pulling the hair of opposition defender Jeison Murillo.
      Ronaldo was forced to fork out on the high tech gifts
      [embedded content]
      Juventus went on to win 2-0 anyway, but boss Massimiliano Allegri’s disciplinary rules at the club stated that following a misdemeanour, the perpetrator must buy all of his team-mates a gift as an apology.
      Despite his superstar status, CR7 was not above this rule, although he tried to wriggle out of it.
      Juve’s No7 was so incensed at the decision, that for two months he refused to take his punishment, insisting that he’d done nothing wrong.
      But eventually, Allegri calmly showed who was boss – and Ronaldo’s team-mates all ended up with new iMac computers.
      Szczesny told Polish talk show Prosto w Szczene: “Yes, we all have an iMac.
      “It took a very long time because he couldn’t process that red card and insisted high and low that he was not doing anything wrong.
      “It took him a bit, about two months of arguing, but we all have received an iMac.”
      Ronaldo wasn’t the only one to fall foul of Allegri’s punishment system, however.

      The former Arsenal goalkeeper revealed that he’d also been forced to fork out on presents for his team-mates, after being late for training.
      He explained: “I thought it was Tuesday, but it turned out to be Wednesday that day.
      “Allegri called me and said everyone was already there. When I arrived half an hour late on the training field, everyone said: ‘oh, we’re getting presents!’ I ended up buying headphones for the boys.”
      The shotstopper bought all of his team-mates Dr. Dre Beats headphones as an apology for being late.
      Disciplinarian Allegri’s departed at the end of that campaign and Maurizio Sarri took charge at the Allianz Stadium in June 2019.

      ‘Difficult to justify’ Lewis Hamilton as greatest ever driver, according to F1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart

      by

      FORMULA 1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart called it ‘difficult to justify’ saying Lewis Hamilton is the greatest ever driver.The Brit will attempt to beat Michael Schumacher’s record of seven world titles by defeating Max Verstappen at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

      Lewis Hamilton is big favourite to win his EIGHTH F1 world championshipCredit: Splash News
      He has already overtaken the German’s record of 91 race wins.
      But Stewart, who won the driver’s championship three times, described it as near-impossible to compare Hamilton’s achievements to speedsters of yesteryear.
      The 82-year-old said last year that the modern-day racing calendar being busier, as well as Hamilton having a ‘so superior’ car and engine to other competitors, makes comparison tricky.
      Speaking on the In The Fast Lane podcast in October 2020, Stewart said: “I don’t think that you can account [for] that sort of level of success.
      “Just because today there are 20, 22 races, whereas in the old days when for example Juan Manuel Fangio, raced maybe sometimes six, eight or nine races a year in Formula 1.
      ‘To say that Lewis is the greatest driver of all time, would be difficult for me to justify, in the sheer power of what the other drivers were doing.
      “Lewis drives extremely well, make no mistake, I’m not in any way diminishing his skills, but it isn’t the same.
      “Lewis made a very good decision when he left McLaren at that time and went to Mercedes-Benz. And I take my hat off to him for making that decision.
      The ten greatest F1 drivers of all-time – according to SunSport’s motorsport correspondent Ben Hunt
      “But frankly, the car and the engine are now so superior that it’s almost unfair on the rest of the field.”
      Due to difficulties comparing the modern-day car and calendar with that of the past, Stewart doesn’t even have Hamilton in his top three racing drivers of all time.
      He added: “Juan Manuel Fangio in my mind is the greatest driver that’s ever lived.
      “With Jim Clark as the second-greatest, even ahead of [Ayrton] Senna.”
      Fangio won five world titles in the 1950s. Scottish racer Clark won two world titles in 1963 and 1965.
      At the time of his death, at the age of 32, Clark had won more F1 races and achieved more podiums than any other driver.

      Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi: Man Utd and PSG stars’ head to head record as they face Champions League showdown

      by

      IT IS the question that divides football fans across the globe –  who is better: Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?They gave El Clasicos a bit of extra spice for nine years and now, they could be set to face off against each other again in the Champions League.
      The last time Messi and Ronaldo met, CR7 scored two penaltiesCredit: GETTY IMAGES
      The pair have met 36 times on the pitch, with Messi having the edge on the head-to-head
      Breakdown of Ronaldo and Messi’s careers
      Due to Manchester United finishing top of their group, and Paris Saint-Germain coming in at second in theirs, Messi and Ronaldo could face off in the Round of 16.
      The greatest managers of the modern era have had their say, fans have had their say and even former team-mates have waded in on the never-ending GOAT debate.
      So SunSport thought we’d look past the trophies and accolades to see how they fared when they were in direct competition.
      The pair know each other well, of course, having gone toe-to-toe in dozens of El Clasico contests down the years.
      Not only would the rivals share the same pitch whenever Real Madrid played against Barcelona, but they would tussle for LaLiga supremacy season after season.
      El Clasico has always been more that just a football match to the clubs’ fans and having the two best players in the world took it to a different dimension.

      Ronaldo has gone up against Messi 36 times in total during his spells at Manchester United and Real Madrid, Juventus as well as on the international stage.
      The Portuguese legend was ruled out of the first group stage game between Juve and Barcelona due to coronavirus – but made sure to get revenge in the return fixture netting a brace from the penalty spot.
      Messi pipped the former Los Blancos ace by one goals in all of their meetings, finding the back of the net 22 times.
      Ronaldo and Messi have enjoyed a career-long rivalry

      While Ronaldo may have one goal fewer, he holds the record for the scoring in the most consecutive El Clasicos – in six consecutive games in 2012.
      Messi poetically netted his 500th goal for the Catalan giants against Real in a thriller in 2017, which also put Barca top of LaLiga.
      The Argentina ace famously celebrated by whipping off his No10 shirt and holding it aloft to the away support to prove why he is considered to be the greatest footballer of all time.
      Ronaldo later had to have his say too, of course.
      The next time he visited the Nou Camp and scored in the Supercopa de Espana final first leg in August 2017, he mimicked his great frenemy’s celebration by showing his No7 shirt to the crowd.
      In that same clash, Ronaldo’s night hit a sour note when he was shown a second yellow card for diving, which resulted in the forward PUSHING the referee.
      He had already been booked for taking his shirt off after mimicking Messi’s celebration.
      That has been the only red card shown to either hero in the duo’s 36 stand offs with Messi managing to keep his cool and escape with three fewer yellows than his arch-rival.
      Lionel Messi scored a last-minute winner to give Barcelona a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in April 2017
      Cristiano Ronaldo showed the Nou Camp who was boss in his celebration
      Football is a results business so when it comes to score lines, the Argentine maestro leads the way.
      In the 35 matches, Messi has 16 wins, Ronaldo has 11 and there have been nine draws.
      Ronaldo’s United got the better of Barca in the 2008 Champions League semi-finals with a 0-0 draw at the Nou Camp and 1-0 win at Old Trafford.
      Messi and Co got their revenge a year later, winning the 2009 final 2-0 as Messi scored a header.
      That started a run of five consecutive wins for Messi over Ronaldo including a 5-0 Barca win and a 2-1 victory for Argentina over Portugal in an international friendly as both players found the net.
      Arguably their greatest contest came in the 2012-13 LaLiga campaign as both players scored twice in a 2-2 draw in Barcelona.
      Messi played his entire career at Barca up until last summer when his contract expired.
      The Argentine signed for PSG and has five UCL goals in the group stages, but it’s not quite Ronaldo’s six for United.
      Ronaldo might just get the chance to show Messi up after his record-breaking seventh Ballon d’Or win.

      After Savage Jr plays for Man Utd: Ronaldo, Neville, Zidane, Maldini and sons aiming to fill dad’s big shoes

      by

      EMOTIONAL Robbie Savage had the honour of announcing his son’s arrival on the pitch as Charlie Savage made his Manchester United debut.Savage Jr, 18, was named on the bench against Young Boys and came on in the last five minutes to become the latest boy wonder to fill the boots of his famous father.

      Savage Sr was on co-commentary duty and ‘started to tear up’ as he announced his son’s arrival.
      Wayne Rooney’s son Kai also signed terms with United last year.
      Proud dad Wazza announced the news his then-11-year-old had penned a deal with his old club as he shared a snap of him and Coleen alongside the boy wonder in December.
      But he won’t be the first son looking to fulfil the great expectations they were born with.
      Offspring of legends like Zinedine Zidane and Patrick Kluivert are also looking to make their own way in the footballing world while dealing with the pressure of their iconic surnames.
      And Maxim Gullit, son of Ruud and great nephew of Johan Cruyff, became the latest last year when he came off the bench for Jong AZ Alkmaar for his first taste of senior action.

      Here, SunSport takes a look at the other youngsters aiming to follow in their fathers’ giant footsteps:
      Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, 11
      Cristiano Jr is on the books at Man Utd with dad Ronaldo
      Cristiano Jr has a heavy legacy to live up to if he attempts to emulate his five-time Ballon d’Or winning father Ronaldo.
      The youngster was part of Juventus’ academy and impressed in a number of youth tournaments.
      But he has now moved the United with his dad.
      And Ronaldo, 36, admitted in the past he would ‘like’ to see Junior follow in his footsteps.
      But the Portugal captain has insisted he will not ‘pressure’ his eldest son into a footballing career.
      Joe van der Sar, 23
      Joe van Der Sar is son of Man Utd legend Edwin
      Joe van der Sar is the son of legendary father Edwin.
      Joe began his career at Man Utd, where his dad starred for six years, and then moved on to Noordwijk before signing for Ajax in 2013 where Edwin is CEO.
      These are giant gloves to fill and the expectations are high. He was back at Noordwijk aiming to work his way to the top but is now with the Pittsburgh Panthers in the USA.Maxim Gullit, 20
      Maxim Gullit, left, is son of Chelsea icon Ruud, right, and great nephew of Johann Cruyff
      Son of Ruud and great nephew of Johan Cruyff, Maxim Gullit could hardly hope for better footballing genes.
      Maxim, a defender and son of Estelle Cruyff, predominantly played for AZ’s Under-19 side in 2018-19 – but was handed an Easter treat – being called up a level.
      The talented teen came on for the final 19 minutes of the AZ second team’s clash with champions Twente in the Netherlands’ second tier and helped his side keep a clean sheet.
      He went on to become a regular for their Under-21 side, while he made his debut for the first team in the 4-1 Europa League win over HNK Rijeka in the Europa League in October 2020.
      He now plays for Eredivisie side Cambuur.Zidane (Luca, Enzo & Theo)
      Zinedine Zidane has three footballer sons but Luca, left, was handed a Real Madrid debut by his dad in March last year
      Zinedine Zidane has three sons aiming to follow in his giant footsteps.
      Midfielder Enzo, 26, is currently at Ligue 2 side Rodez, and 19-year-old Theo is looking to develop in Real Madrid’s academy.
      Goalkeeper Luca, 23, made two appearances for Los Blancos, but he left in search of game time.
      He is now at LaLiga side Rayo Vallecano.Gudjohnsen (Andri Lucas, Sveinn Aron & Daniel Tristan)
      Eidur Gudjohnsen has three sons aiming to make it in football including Andri Lucas, left, at Real Madrid
      Former Chelsea, Tottenham and Barcelona striker Eidur Gudjohnsen has one son at Real Madrid, one son at Barca and another in Italy.
      Sveinn, 23, and the spitting image of his father, plays for Swedish side Elfsborg while younger brother Andri Lucas is in the big time at the Bernabeu.
      The London-born 19-year-old, who is starring for Iceland’s U19s, joined Real’s La Fabrica academy in Valdebas last summer while 14-year-old Daniel Tristan, 15, is also at Los Blancos having previously played for Barcelona’s youth team.
      Eidur famously came on for his father, Arnor, while playing for Iceland, in 1996.Tyrese Campbell, 21
      Stoke’s Tyrese Campbell, left, is son of former Arsenal, Everton and West Brom striker Kevin
      Stoke’s young star Tyrese Campbell made a huge breakthrough in 2019-20 – appearing 33 times in the Championship for the Potters.
      The forward, who joined Stoke from Man City’s academy in 2016, is son of former Arsenal, Everton and West Brom striker Kevin Campbell.
      Tyrese scored his first goals for Stoke in the FA Cup in 2018-19 before being loaned out to League One Shrewsbury for the remainder of the campaign.
      He scored six goals in 16 Championship games for the Potters in 2020-21.Harvey Neville, 19

      With TWO Manchester United Treble winners as father (Phil) and uncle (Gary), plus England’s netball head coach for an aunt (Tracey), there was little chance of Harvey going into auditing.
      Harvey, who plays in midfield or on the wing, began his career at United before moving to rivals City where he won the Premier League International Tournament as an Under-13.
      He moved to Valencia when his father and uncle took charge of the first-team before returning to Old Trafford in 2018.
      And earlier this year he followed dad Phil to the USA – joining Fort Lauderdale CF just up the road from his old man’s digs in Miami.
      Maurizio Pochettino, 20

      Definitely a name that Tottenham fans can immediately warm to, Maurizio is the offspring of former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.
      And the Argentine youngster, described as a wide player with an eye for goal, continued to play for the Lilywhites in 2019-20 despite his dad getting the sack in November that season.
      He even signed a new contract with the club, but quit to join Watford on a free in January 2021.Justin Kluivert, 22

      The name may have got him noticed but it is Justin Kluivert’s talent that has seen him thrive at such a young age.
      Son of Patrick, left winger Justin was nurtured by the Ajax academy and starred in Serie A for Italian side Roma after signing in 2018 for £14.9million.
      Manchester United were also believed to be after the youngster – who bagged five goals and two assists in 2019-20.
      He spent the 2020-21 season on loan at RB Leipzig, where he has enjoyed a return to top form, and is now with Nice in France temporarily.Daniel Maldini, 20

      The Maldini dynasty continues, with Daniel following in father Paolo and grandfather Cesare’s footsteps in Milan.
      Daniel operates at the opposite end of the pitch to his father and has displayed his talents as a second striker.
      The talented teen made his first-team debut against Hellas Verona in Serie A in 2019-20 – becoming the third generation of Maldini’s to play for AC Milan.
      He has since played 18 matches for the San Siro side.Giovanni Simeone, 26

      Son of Atletico Madrid boss Diego, Giovanni is one of the few in this group to have already established themselves.
      Usually deployed as a second striker, Giovanni has broken into the Argentina team where he has been capped on five occasions – scoring once.
      He joined Cagliari in the summer of 2020 after a successful loan spell where he has scored five goals in six Serie A matches.
      But he is now on loan at Hellas Verona from Fiorentina.Erling Haaland, 21

      Erling Haaland, son of Man City’s Alf-Inge whose career was ended after a horror tackle from United legend Roy Keane, is one of Europe’s hottest properties.
      The 21-year-old was mentored by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Molde, before smashing in the goals for RB Salzburg.
      The hulking centre forward then rejected interest from the Red Devils and moved to Borussia Dortmund, and has not stopped scoring since.
      Haaland is now a target for City, Chelsea and Real Madrid – among many others.Sydney van Hooijdonk, 21

      Son of former Nottingham Forest striker Pierre, the 21-year-old had been in fine form for NAC Breda in the Dutch second tier in recent seasons.
      The towering centre-forward has chipped in with 23 goals in 70 games since his 2019-20 debut.
      His hot form has seen him linked with Forest, Swansea and Sheffield Wednesday in recent seasons.
      But he instead moved to Serie A side Bologna. More
