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 announced the 21-year-old's arrival from Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday afternoon.
The Norway international will join Pep Guardiola's side in July after City activated a €60 million euro (£51.2m) release clause in his contract. Haaland is set to arrive at the Etihad, subject to finalising personal terms with the Premier League champions.
He has featured 23 times for the German giants in the Bundesliga this season, directly contributing to 29 goals. The Norwegian's star-studded displays have steered Dortmund towards Champions League qualification.
