Erling Braut Haaland (born 21 July 2000) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Manchester City and the Norway national team. Widely regarded as one of the best players in the world and the greatest Norwegian player of all time, he is known for his speed, strength, positioning, and finishing ability, especially from inside the penalty area.
Haaland began his senior career with Norwegian clubs Bryne and Molde before signing in 2019 for Red Bull Salzburg, where he won the Austrian Bundesliga and Austrian Cup.

In 2022, Haaland joined Manchester City for a fee of €60 million (£51.2 million) and played a pivotal role in the club's treble-winning debut season, becoming only the second English club to achieve the feat. He finished as the top scorer in the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, setting records for the most goals in a Premier League season (36) and the most goals by a Premier League player in all competitions in a single season (52). At City, he has won two Premier League titles and three Premier League Golden Boots.
Haaland's individual honours include the PFA Players' Player of the Year, the UEFA Men's Player of the Year, the IFFHS World's Best Player and the Golden Boy awards, while he also finished runner-up for the Ballon d'Or.
