What will Erling Haaland’s Man City shirt number be?

Manchester City won the race for a much sought-after signature when agreeing to pay £51 million ($64m) for Erling Haaland in the summer of 2022, with the prolific Norwegian striker expected to make a Premier League title-winning squad at the Etihad Stadium even more formidable.

Despite being only 21 years of age, Haaland brings considerable pedigree to English football, with a big-money transfer allowing him to follow in the footsteps of his father, Alf Inge – who represented City, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest during his playing days.

Haaland Jr is expected to maintain a remarkable record in front of goal that has seen him net at close to one effort per game across stints at Red Bull Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund. What number will he have on his back, though, when terrorising opposition defences with City? GOAL takes a look...

Haaland has completed his switch to City, with a long-term contract being lined up for him, and he has been pictured at the club’s training ground donning the Blues’ home kit for 2022-23.

He did, however, have no number on his back and it is yet to be revealed which shirt he will be filling when opening a new adventure.
