Erling Haaland admits months leading to Man City transfer "have been tough"

Erling Haaland has admitted the last few months have been "tough" in the build-up to his big-money move to Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund.

The 21-year-old is set to join the Citizens on July 1 after the clubs agreed terms for him to make the switch across to the Premier League, having spent the past two-and-a-half years in Germany. The transfer remains subject to the club finalising terms with the player.

There is no doubt Haaland will come to City with plenty of experience in the Bundesliga and in Europe, after scoring 86 goals in 89 appearances for Dortmund since joining from RB Salzburg in January 2020. However, he frequently struggled with muscular problems last season, limiting his game time and requiring him to spend plenty of time in the treatment room.
