The Sun reports Man City are favourites to land the services of the Norway international for a bargain price of just £64million.

Arsenal fans in meltdown after seeing Haaland in a Gunners kit

However, an old photo of him wearing an Arsenal kit has sparked an online meltdown, with Gunners fans, in particular, going wild.

The photo shared on Twitter by Football.London's Chris Wheatley generated amusement among Arsenal supporters, with some joking the striker is headed to North London in the summer.

In the photo, Haaland can be seen wearing a yellow Arsenal away kit with matching shorts.

SunSport claims the kit is from the 2010-11 season and Arsenal used it as their away uniform for the next two campaigns.

While it remains unclear when the viral photo was taken, it is highly likely it is not too long ago.

Arsenal in the market for a new striker

The photo surfaced at a time Arsenal are hunting for a prolific striker to fill the void left by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who joined Barcelona in January.

And with Alexander Lacazette set to depart at the end of the season, Mikel Arteta will be on the lookout for a striker on the same level as Haaland.

It is for this reason some fans joked that Haaland could make the Emirates his next destination.

One excited supporter wrote:

"He’s coming home then."

Another added:

"He's a Gooner through and through."

Arsenal urged to sign Cristiano Ronaldo

Earlier, Sports Brief reported ardent Arsenal fan, Piers Morgan, has urged Arsenal to make a summer move for Manchester United attacker, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The TV host believes the five-time Ballon d'Or winner would perfectly slot in at Arsenal and inspire the club back to their glory days.

Despite his advanced age, Ronaldo has been the shining light at Old Trafford and currently leads the goalscorers charts at Old Trafford.
