Manchester City striker Erling Haaland admits he's close to Sion ace Mario Balotelli.

Former Inter Milan striker Balotelli won the Premier League with City and shares the same agent as Haaland.

Haaland was asked who he would choose to take a 'penalty kick for your life'.

“I have to say myself because I trust myself a lot," replied the Norwegian.

"If not, there are some good ones. I have to say Mario Balotelli; probably he was the best one I've ever seen, he was really good, so probably him or me."
