"I would pay money to watch that lad" - Danny Murphy makes bold PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe vs Erling Haaland claims

Former Liverpool and England midfielder Danny Murphy has once again picked Paris Saint Germain (PSG) forward Kylian Mbappe over Manchester City's goal-machine Erling Haaland.

Murphy believes Mbappe's dynamic ability as a playmaker, as well as a goalscorer, puts him above Haaland despite the latter's recent form in the Premier League.

“Mbappe has this explosive dynamism, this individuality that is unbelievable.”

Speaking to talkSPORT in September, Murphy explained why he picks PSG striker Kylian Mbappe over any other player and said:

''Mbappe, talk about another superstar. I would pay money to watch that lad. He’s not in a class of his own. I’d have Mbappe over Haaland. I love Haaland, but I would have Mbappe first. Mbappe has this explosive dynamism, this individuality that is unbelievable.”

Despite Haaland's incredible form in his debut Premier League season, Murphy has stood by his earlier claims. He once again picked the French superstar over any other player in world football. Reiterating his earlier stance, Murphy said:

“I stand by it. When you go and watch football you want to get off the edge of your feet and be entertained. Mbappe with the skill set he’s got gives you more pleasure on the eye.''

“Haaland's goals to games is a little better than Mbappe, I think it’s every 1.2 games and Mbappe is every 1.4. You could argue where they’ve played and the levels.”
