Erling Haaland, one of the most fearsome strikers in world football, has made a shocking announcement regarding his personal life.
İdman.Biz reports that the "goal machine" of "Manchester City" has officially stated his desire to obtain a British passport and become a citizen of this country.
The star footballer did not hide that this decision was due to family reasons:
"I would really like to get a British passport - to become a citizen of England. When I signed a contract with Manchester City, I already said that I felt at home here. It was perfectly legal for me to return to England. My family had a great time here. My mother loves England, its traditions and everything here very much."
It should be reminded that Erling Haaland was born in Leeds, England, and his father Alf-Inge Haaland also played in the Premier League in the past. Currently, the striker, whose transfer value is 200 million euros (400 million AZN), has caused widespread discussions in both Norway and Britain.
