On Monday morning Erling Haaland was officially unveiled as a Manchester City player, rubber-stamping one of the most eagerly anticipated transfers in both Premier League and club history.
City and Pep Guardiola have been looking to sign an elite striker for two years now, after failed attempts to sign Lionel Messi, Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo. After activating the £51m release clause in Haaland's Borussia Dortmund contract last month, City now finally have their man.
Since arriving at Red Bull Salzburg in 2019 Haaland has established himself as one of the most ruthless goal-scorers in world football; he scored 115 goals in 116 club games for Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund, while scoring a further 20 in 21 outings for his country, Norway.
