Tony Cottee has said he thinks Sebastien Haller can break the goalscoring record he set back in 1987.
Haller already has 3 goals to his name in the Premier League this season, and is hitting form for the Irons, and is only set to get better and better.
The Frenchman is already showing he is a natural scorer after a brace at Watford and a goal against Norwich City.
In an interview with TalkSPORT, cited by HITC, Cottee said he believes that West Ham’s record signing can beat the record he set by scoring 20+ goals in one season for the Hammers back in 1987:
“The club paid a lot of money for him, an incredible amount of money, it puts pressure on a player, you’re the £45m million man, you’ve been bought to score goals. I was the last player to do it . I think Haller has got a chance.”
Read West Ham’s verdict
With Haller starting to fire for West Ham, you can see why Cottee believes Haller can exceed his tally. He is a born goalscorer and will definitely be a talisman for the Hammers, and continue his goal scoring form.
Many doubted the Frenchman when he originally joined from Eintracht Frankfurt for £45m this summer, but is starting to prove his worth and this isn’t going unnoticed
These comments from Cottee only consolidates that. Overall, I believe that Haller has a great chance to break Cottee’s record, especially if he continues his goal scoring form.
