Erling Haaland has revealed Riyad Mahrez helped convince him to join Manchester City this summer.
The Norwegian snubbed a whole host of top teams from across Europe in favour of a move to the Premier League champions, agreeing a deal back in May. City exploited a release clause in the 21-year-old's Borussia Dortmund contract in order to snap up the striker for a cut-price £51million.
The highly sought-after hitman has credited his father Alf-Inge, who previously played for City in the early 2000s, as playing a part in his decision to join Pep Guardiola 's side, but it appears he wasn't the only one to have an influence. City's new recruit has admitted Mahrez also had a role to play in his move to the Etihad.
