Erling Haaland FIFA 22 rating assessed as Man City transfer confirmed

Manchester City have officially unveiled Erling Haaland as their first signing ahead of the 2022/23 season for a £51million transfer fee.

Haaland 's transfer was first announced in May, with City finding an agreement with Borussia Dortmund for the transfer of the striker. Since then, personal terms have been agreed and City have now confirmed the signing of Haaland on a five-year contract.

Haaland has been away on international duty for Norway since bidding farewell to Dortmund, with the striker grabbing five goals and an assist in four UEFA Nations League games. Pep Guardiola 's side were criticised for not bringing in a new striker after Sergio Aguero's departure last season, but their patience has been rewarded with the signing of one of the most dangerous players in football.
