Chelsea were among several top-flight sides who were interested in securing the services of Erling Haaland in the summer transfer window, according to reports. But, Manchester City won the race and have announced the 21-year-old's arrival from Borussia Dortmund.
The Norway international will join Pep Guardiola's side in July after having activated a €60million (£51.2m) release clause in his contract. Haaland has agreed personal terms with the Premier League champions, penning a five-year deal at the Etihad which is believed to be worth around £375,000-a-week.
He featured 24 times for the Dortmund in the Bundesliga this season, directly contributing to 30 goals. The Norwegian's star-studded displays steered the German giants to Champions League qualification.
