Former Ghana international, Charles Taylor, says Erling Haaland would struggle to break into Hearts of Oak's starting lineup due to his style of play.

Taylor believes the Manchester City forward has very little influence on games if he is not scoring, something that has been talked about in the media.

Earlier this month, former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane criticised the Norway international for his recent performances while Wesley Sneijder also became critical of him ahead of the game against Real Madrid.

Taylor has become the latest not to be pleased with the displays of Haaland this season despite his 20 Premier League goals and believes the forward wouldn't fit in at Hearts.

"The manager needs to speak to Haaland. His style of play isn’t viable. If he were in Ghana, he wouldn’t even start for Hearts of Oak," said Taylor in an interview on Angel TV.

"He won’t get into Hearts of Oak’s starting line-up. He’ll be on the bench with his style of play. He flops against the big teams. If you’re a player who can’t play against big teams, then how can you survive at Hearts of Oak?"

Haaland was the top scorer in Europe last season steering Pep Guardiola’s side to the treble as they won the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League.

Haaland was kept quiet in the Champions League quarterfinal over two legs as Madrid advanced to the semis ahead of Manchester City.
