Statue of Man City forward Erling Haaland 'stolen' after complaints it was 'too ugly'

A statue of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has reportedly been stolen in his home country of Norway.

The striker joined City from Borussia Dortmund this summer and has hit the ground running in Manchester. The 22-year-old has scored three goals and provided one assist in his first three Premier League games against West Ham, Bournemouth and Newcastle.

Haaland has scored 20 goals in his 21 appearances for his national team so far, leading many Norwegians to feel a sense of pride over the 22-year-old representing their country. This was especially true in his hometown of Byrne, where a 10ft statue of the striker was erected in his honour.
