Apart from Erling Haaland (23), how comes there's no world-class strikers under 30?

*Before anyone will say Kylian Mbappé, he's a inside forward who spends majority of his time on the left flank during games whenever his team have possession,

I just realized how there's no genuine current world-class striker who haven't reached the age of 30, apart from Haaland as the exception. The 23-year-old is definitely one of the GOAT strikers of all-time without a shadow of doubt.

- Scored 250 goals in 300 games during his career
- Scored 30 goals in 33 games for Norway
- Achieved countless of goalscoring records & individual awards

In the 21st Century, we have seen loads of phenomenal world-class strikers (Suarez, Henry, Van Nistelrooy, Lewandowski, Kane, Zlatan, Aguero, Cavani and many others).

When the likes of Darwin Nunez & Rasmus Hojlund were sold for £100m and £70m respectively, then the dreath of young world-class strikers isn't really a meme out of thin air.

How comes there isn't many world-class striker under the age of 30 compared to the past?

Pep has ruined the traditional 9. Look at how many times we have threads pop up asking if we’re a better side without Haaland.

Haaland is a freak and has to be accomodated, but if we didn’t have him, we’d be playing false 9 a lot more, especially in bigger games.

The nippy 9s now have become wide forwards as they can score loads from there.

Easy as ABC, really.

Are those five truly world class? Are they in the same bracket as Van Persie, Henry, Aguero, Lewandovski?
