About Erling Haaland
Erling Braut Haaland, born in Leeds on 21 July 2000, is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Manchester City and the Norway national team.
A natural born goalscorer, Haaland joined City from Borussia Dortmund in July 2022, after signing a five-year deal. The son of former City player Alfie, Haaland junior is widely regarded as one of Europe’s best strikers and arrived at the club with a formidable goalscoring reputation following impressive spells at Molde FK, Red Bull Salzburg and Dortmund.
Strong, tall, quick, good in the air and capable of scoring a variety of goals off either foot, Haaland’s career so far has been characterised by one thing: goals. In his debut campaign at City, the Norwegian netted 36 times in the Premier League – breaking the record for the most goals scored in a 38-game season. He also became just the third player in history – and the first for nine years – to score five goals in a single UEFA Champions League game as City beat RB Leipzig 7-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland hit his 45th goal of the season during the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg victory over Bayern Munich – meaning he surpassed Ruud van Nistelrooy and Mohamed Salah as the men to have scored most goals for a Premier League club across all competitions in a single campaign.
He finished his incredible debut season with 52 goals in 53 games and had a fairytale ending as he was part of the Pep Guardiola’s Treble-winning team, which saw them lift the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
