Erling Haaland has already landed in Manchester to complete his transfer to the recently-crowned Premier League champions Manchester City.
The £51m highly-rated striker is expected to undergo the final formalities before officially being unveiled as a Manchester City player.
His arrival in Manchester comes only two weeks after City excited fans with the announcement that the Norwegian would be joining them from Borussia Dortmund.
According to a report on Daily Mail, Haaland arrived at Manchester on Tuesday, May 24 in a private jet from Barcelona where he underwent a medical.
He is expected to meet with Manchester City executives on Tuesday.
A video of Haaland emerged on Tuesday, and it showed the Norwegian was in no mood for autographs as he snubbed a number of excited young fans who had shirts bearing his name, ready for his signature.
Haaland is expected to be at the Manchester City training ground on Wednesday where he will pose for official pictures before engaging in an interview.
Interestingly, he jets into Manchester just when the city is in celebratory mood after the recent Premier League triumph.
On Sunday, Manchester City had to come from two goals down to sink Aston Villa 3-2 to win their second successive title, and fourth in the last five seasons.
City were determined to acquire Haaland as soon as possible, and met Borussia Dortmund’s release clause of the striker, which was to expire next summer.
The club’s chiefs are confident they have a hot prospect in Haaland, despite the Norwegian’s hefty £400,000-a-week wages.
