Manchester City goal-machine Ering Haaland believes breaking Newcastle legend Aan Shearer's goalscoring record is not impossible.

Shearer’s Premier League all-time goalscoring record stands at 260 goals and Haaland believes he can do it, as long as he remains in England.(via The Telegraph): 

“How long is my contract? Three years and 10 months [left]? So, there is still time to do it, no?” 

"That is something you can’t think of. You have to think of the next game, the season, and then these things come after a while. “But if I will still be 15 years longer in England then why not? We will see.”
