"His numbers are impressive. He's on the level of Cristiano and Messi. I hope Erling will keep it up because we need his goals before the last game of the season. Holland has the same mentality as Cristiano - he always wants to be in the penalty area, always wants to score. He doesn't care if he touches the ball once or twice, when he does, he scores. He is a real striker.

We knew what Erling could do even before he arrived, because he had done it a few years before, in Norway, Austria and Germany. We watched him and played against him, but you never know what level he can reach. But what he did this season was incredible and we are very happy to have him with us. I hope he gets even better," Goal quoted the Portuguese as saying.
