Erling Haaland concedes he could have represented England but declares he is "proud" to be playing for Norway.
The Manchester City striker is one of football's megastars and is poised to enjoy a trophy-laden career. His club efforts could see him go down as one of the game's greatest following his blistering start at such a young age. On the international stage, though, Haaland could have more of a quiet time.
Norway are by no means major players and the 22-year-old is arguably the biggest star to miss the World Cup after his country failed to qualify. Haaland and Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard are the nation's leading lights, but they have only made the World Cup finals three times and the Euros once.
