Pep Guardiola has disagreed with Arne Slot’s verdict that Alexander Isak is 'probably the best striker in the world', claiming that Erling Haaland is a better player.

The Liverpool head coach gave his view on Friday, speaking for the first time since Isak’s record-breaking arrival on deadline day.

Asked about Slot’s comments, Guardiola said Haaland is “a little bit above”.

“Isak is an exceptional player,” added the ex-Barcelona boss.

“You asked me about Erling as a striker and he is top.

Pep Guardiola said he has the best striker in the world in Erling Haaland

In comparison to Isak, Haaland has scored a remarkable 88 Premier League goals from 100 matches, although it should be considered that he has played for a side that tends to have more possession and create greater chances than Isak received at Newcastle.

Liverpool’s new signing will hope to get off the mark for the Reds against Burnley on Sunday, although it appears unlikely he will start after a disrupted summer.

Slot said on Friday that the ex-Real Sociedad man needs to build up over the comings.

“We will treat Alex the same as he did,” said the Liverpool head coach
