Erling Haaland says he's always been a Manchester City fan.

The former Borussia Dortmund striker's move was confirmed today.

Haaland's father Alf-Inge played 47 times for City before a bad knee injury forced his retirement in 2003, aged only 30.

His son would see him play at Maine Road on many occasions, though the then-toddler can recall little of those visits to our former home.

“First of all, my father, a little bit," Erling explained.

“I was born in England. I have been a City fan my whole life. I know a lot about the club.

“In the end, [deciding to sign was down to] two things. I feel at home here and I feel I can develop and get the best out of my game at City.

“I like the style (of play). I like the attacking football. I like the positive vibe we have when City play football.

“This is what I like a lot, so I think it's a good fit."
