Erling Haaland's trajectory to the very top of professional football has been a beautiful sight to see. The striker has risen from the Norwegian league to the Premier League.

He is currently considered one of the best players in world football. Pundits have tipped him to rival Kylian Mbappe once the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi debate is over.

But before all the consecutive hat-tricks at the Etihad Stadium and breaking all types of records in the Premier League, Haaland had a different career path in mind.

The towering striker was part of a rap group called 'Flow Kingz.' He was the third member of the three-member band together with his friends Erik Sandberg and Erik Botheim.

The trio are now professional footballers, with Haaland being the most successful of them. While in their native Norway at a tender age, the group came together and released a song that has now resurfaced online.

Botheim now plays for the Italian club Salernitana, while Sanberg plays for Jerv in Norway. Sport Bible reports that the message of the song was basically about paying mobile phone subscriptions and eating salads.
