Manchester City and Norway striker Erling Haaland is widely regarded as one of the best young players in the world.
Haaland was born in Leeds, where his father, Alf Inge Haaland, was playing for Leeds United. In 2004, aged three, Haaland moved to Bryne, his parents' hometown in Norway. There, he started out with local club Bryne before moving on to Molde.
Haaland's prolific goal-scoring exploits caught the eyes of Red Bull Salzburg in Austria. It was during his time there that he truly burst onto the scene.
At club level, he starred for Salzburg in the UEFA Champions League. Internationally, he made headlines by scoring nine goals for Norway U-20 in a 12-0 win over Honduras at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in 2019.
Haaland won the Austrian Bundesliga in 2018/19 and 2019/20 with RB Salzburg, and also the Austrian Cup in 2019. At Dortmund he picked up the DFB Pokal in 2021.
In the summer of 2022, he completed his £51million move to Manchester City and was a crucial part of their Treble winning team, netting an astonishing 52 goals, in 53 games, in his debut season with the club.
He won the Premier League again in the 2023/24 season, netting 38 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions.
During the 2023/24 season he reached the 100-goal mark for City in only 105 appearances
He became Norway’s all-time leading goalscorer in October 2024, netting his 34th goal for his country in just 37 appearances.
