Haaland is a key player for Norway, scoring 21 goals in 23 games for his national side since making his debut in 2019.
The 22-year-old, though, was born in Leeds when his father, Alfie, was playing for the Premier League side but moved to Bryne in 2004.
I lived in Norway for such a long time so then it was natural for me to choose Norway, so I’m proud to be a Norwegian.
Alf-Inge spent 20 years playing in England at Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Man City, but moved back home in 2004 where Erling developed into one of the world’s best strikers.
Haaland may well have been involved at the World Cup this year should he have played for England, but he will remain at home for the tournament as Norway failed to qualify.
