So it's finally official. Earlier this morning, Manchester City announced the £51 million signing of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.
The long-winded search for Sergio Agüero's successor is over, with one of Europe's most prolific strikers trusted to fill the Argentine's boots. Operating at nearly a goal a game, Haaland's rise to stardom at Borussia Dortmund - via RB Salzburg - has been quite remarkable.
Son of former Blue Alfie Haaland, the 21-year-old has joined the club on a five-year deal and has already spoken of his excitement to link up with his City teammates in pre-season.
