Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has called Manchester City stars Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, the Premier League’s best-ever partnership.

Martin Keown who was a member of the famous Arsenal side that became the invincibles with Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergman leading the line, believes Haaland and De Bruyne are on a different level.

"I thought Bergkamp and Henry was one hell of a partnership for Arsenal back in the day, but in De Bruyne and Haaland, I think maybe it’s gone to another level.”
