Erling Haaland 'Unrecognisable' After Getting New Hairstyle Ahead of EPL Return

• Erling Haaland was spotted sporting a new hairstyle during the international break
• The Manchester City star was spotted in cornrows instead of his iconic flowing hair
• Haaland has enjoyed a hot start to the new EPL season with six goals scored so far

Erling Haaland has debuted a dramatic new look ahead of the Premier League return after the international break.

The Manchester City hotshot has experimented with a variety of haircuts over the years.

According to Sporting News, Haaland rocked shorter hair during his time with Norwegian giants, Molde. However, it is his long blonde hair that is synonymous with him, especially during his time at Borussia Dortmund and Man City.

Recently, the towering forward decided to get rid of his free-flowing long hairstyle and opted for cornrows.

The ex-Dortmund ace debuted the new look while on international duty with Norway and went on to share a photo of himself in action with the bold style on Instagram.

It remains unclear if the Man City ace will keep his new look ahead of the return of top-flight football.

The defending champions are scheduled to take on West Ham United on Saturday, September 16, once the Premier League action resumes.

Haaland's EPL hot start

Meanwhile, Haaland has had a hot start to the new Premier League season, picking from where he left off last term.

The Man City hotshot netted 52 goals in the last campaign to help the Citizens win a historic treble, including the UEFA Champions League.

The Norway international has already bagged six goals so far this season from just four matches. He will be hoping to continue with the impressive run of form once the EPL resumes after the international break.
