Erling Haaland issues five-word social media message after completing Man City transfer

New Manchester City recruit Erling Haaland has issued a short message on social media after completing his move to the Etihad Stadium.

Just over a month since City announced that they had reached an agreement with German heavyweights Borussia Dortmund to sign the striker, the club has officially unveiled the striker as their second signing of the summer. He has put pen to paper on a five-year deal and is understood to have joined the club in a deal worth £51million.

Haaland's arrival at the Etihad Stadium has brought City's pursuit of a replacement for Sergio Aguero to a conclusion, with the club having been desperate to source a new out-and-out striker since Sergio Aguero departed at the end of the 2020/21 campaign. In the Norwegian, City have sourced an outstanding talent, who scored a staggering 86 goals in 89 appearances for Dortmund.
