'I'd have Kylian Mbappe over Erling Haaland': Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy claims the PSG star's 'explosive dynamism' puts him ahead of the Premier League top scorer

Former Liverpool star Danny Murphy has claimed that he believes Kylian Mbappe is better than Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland.

Both players have enjoyed a flying start to the current campaign, with Mbappe netting seven Ligue 1 goals in just five appearances, and scored a brace in PSG's Champions League opener against Juventus on Tuesday.

Meanwhile Haaland has had an immediate impact on the Premier League since joining Man City from Borussia Dortmund this summer.
