Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has welcomed new signing Erling Haaland.

It was formally announced yesterday that City would be welcoming Haaland from Borussia Dortmund this summer.

Laporte has been one of the first City players to react to the news - and has admitted relief.

He posted to social media: “I'm happy that I don't have to run after this guy for the next couple of years.

"Welcome Erling."
