Over the last few years, much has been made of the fact that Leeds-born Erling Haaland is a Leeds United fan. It's easy to see why when considering the fact that a player widely tipped to become the best striker in the world, even at a very young age, once said that his dream was to play for the club.
That's due to the fact that his father, Alf-Inge Haaland, played for Leeds, as well as other English clubs, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City.
However, although Leeds reportedly did come close to signing him as a youngster, he is now well beyond the reaches of not just Leeds, but all-but the world's richest sides. Today, Manchester City have officially confirmed the Norwegian striker's transfer and in his announcement interview, he has spoken of growing up a 'City fan', quashing the idea that he supported Leeds as a child.
