Man City respond to "dressing room burden" fears with decisive Erling Haaland move

To say that the 22-year-old has adapted seamlessly to life in England would be an understatement: Haaland has plundered 47 goals in just 40 games and is already just one strike away from eclipsing the record for most goals in a 38-game Premier League season (32).
