Manchester City striker Erling Haaland admits winning the Ballon d'Or is a career goal.

Haaland also says he intends to stay in the game long-term.

He told Four Four Two: "I don't know what will happen, but learning, development is important. You must never stop trying to improve.

"Look at Karim Benzema: now he's 34 and suddenly he's become a stronger player. It's crazy, I want to be like that.

"I watched the Premier League before I got there and I think there have been few real centre-forwardss in recent years. That's why it's the right time. I've always wanted to be a forward. I love my position."
