Manchester City and Borussia announced in May that they had reached an agreement for the transfer of the giant, considered one of the best players of his generation.

Haaland has committed until 2027 against, according to several media, 60 million euros.

Haaland was courted by several big clubs but it was at City, where his father played from 2000 to 2003, that the surface terror chose to evolve.

“It's a little bit for my father, I was born in England and I've always been a City fan.

I know the club a lot.

I feel at home there and I think I can improve and get the best out of myself at City,” he explained.

"Pep, one of the greatest"

"I've always watched City and loved doing it in recent seasons.

We can only admire their style of play, it's exciting and they create a lot of chances [for goals], which is perfect for a player like me," he added, emphasizing the quality of the Spanish coach of the Citizens, Pep Guardiola.

"There are so many world-class players in this team and Pep is one of the greatest managers of all time, so I believe I'm in the right place to fulfill my ambitions," he added.

Haaland arrives in England after scoring 86 goals in 89 games for Borussia Dortmund.

Good luck to the defenders.
