Alfie Haaland - Erling Haaland's father - has revealed how he and his son decided that Manchester City was the perfect club to join from the long line of interested suitors. When facing an increasingly uncertain future at Borussia Dortmund, the 22-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea.
Several other top clubs in Europe were said to also be in the queue to sign the Norway international but it was Pep Guardiola's side who secured the striker's signature. City activated a €60million (£51.2m) release clause in Haaland's contract with the German giants after agreeing personal terms with the Premier League champions.
However, persuading the Norwegian to join was not as easy as it seemed on paper. He and his father built a shortlist of interested clubs and then put together a points system to help them decide which club would be best for his future.
