Erling Haaland is tearing up the Premier League with 15 goals in his first nine appearances with comparisons being made to the original Brazilan Ronaldo but former top-flight goalkeeper Rob Green has picked out another striker who reminds him of the Norweigen - former Sunderland man Kenwyne Jones.
Green, who played 267 times in the Premier League, admitted on BBC 5 Lives Monday Night Club that his choice was left-field and prompted chuckles from host Mark Chapman and Blackburn legend Chris Sutton. Green however stuck by his comparison, stating there was nothing you could do to stop Jones.
After comparisons were made between Haaland, Ronaldo and Didier Drogba, Green said: I was thinking this afternoon of a player [similar to Harland] and I was trying to think a bit left-field of someone youre playing against and where youre just standing there thinking we just do not know what we can do against him.

The name that came to me, and it was only one game, and hes not a Premier League all-time great but it was Kenwayne Jones when he played for Sunderland. You stood there and played against him and just said we dont know what to do here
We tried to block him off for the crosses - we said, you - Lucas Neil, block him off and hed knock him over.
Hed get onto the second half and knock him over, and just climb up above everybody, hed climb up above me - sometimes, theres just nothing you can do to stop people.
In 195 Premier League appearances for Sunderland and Stoke, Jones hit 40 goals. If Haaland continues at this rate, hed have surpassed Jones career total of top-flight goals by February.
