The agent of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland will become the game's first £1bn player.

Haaland's agent Rafaela Pimenta believes the prolific Norwegian's market value is going to rocket in future judging by comparisons to other stars such as Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain.

"I think Erling will be the first player to achieve a transfer that will be around £1bn," Pimenta said.

"If you put together his football value, his image value, his sponsor value, it is for sure £1bn.

"It's normal to compare Erling with Mbappe so you have a little bit of an idea of the market."
