Mr Erling Haaland, 19 years old, 10 goals so far since signing in January, and as quick as an olympic sprinter. A brace against PSG last night.
Now that is 20m euros well spent.

Whoever is advising him is doing a brilliant job, I suspect all of the big clubs in Europe were trying to sign him, but choosing Dortmund looks like an inspired choice and will no doubt be the springboard to a move to one of the European giants for an awful lot of money in the next year or so.
In the meantime he is learning his craft and developing his game in a new league and a different level.

He still looks like one of Hans Gruber's goons out of Die Hard though

Could have played for England but chose Norway.
And a Dirty Leeds fan. So when he's ready for a PROPER, BIG Club, he knows where to go.

He looks the complete package: tall, strong, quick and a lethal finisher. Destined for great things.
Couldn't agree more. Firstly, what a prospect. It's his movement that's so natural in the box too. He finds space so easily. Secondly, his advisors have managed him brilliantly and turning down Money United to further his development at a club with a great track record with youth is 100% the right choice.

Special talent.
I watched that game last night and watching his second goal live was really quite something.
Dortmund might be dodgy at the back but they are wonderful to watch going forward.

Looks like he's mates with one of our own, Leo Ostigard. Maybe Leo could put in a good word for us

Beat me to it. Would he come here and play second fiddle to GM? U23s maybe

I'm sure his dad being a real veteran of the football world has played a big part in this. Its good to see it, too many times we see talent signed up by the 'big clubs' only to disappear in their development squads etc..

Not 'alf! They played the last quarter of the game with a front three of Haaland - 19, Jadon Sancho - 19 and Giovanni Reyna (who provided the assist) - 17
If Roy Keane were alive today, he'd be spinning in his grave.

Reyna was also born in England (son of Claudio)
