Haaland Fills His And Sancho’s Shoes

Erling Braut Haaland, son of the former Manchester City player, Alf-Inge, continuously proves to those who still doubt his “alien” abilities wrong. His exceptional talent as a goal scorer has not gone unnoticed. At the start of the current season, some thought that with the departure of Jadon Sancho to Manchester United, Haaland would find it somewhat difficult to get the regular supplies for goals as Sancho was not replaced. Haaland, in his eery way, proved that with or without Sancho or a direct replacement, he would not only score goals as a talisman but also become a creator of goals for his teammates.

In his first game of this season with Dortmund, against SV Wehen, Haaland scored all the three goals of the game that night. In the second game (against Frankfurt), he scored 2 goals and assisted Marco Reus’ and Thorgan Hazard’s goals of the evening. And he is not looking to stop anytime soon either.

He continues to be sort after by an array of world class clubs, that are ready to snap him off Borrusia Dortmund’s services, save for the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on clubs and Dortmund’s asking price of £130million. For what its worth, He has lived up to whatever price the club will place on him, with his haul of 62 goals in 62 appearances for the black and yellows.

It is expected that the Norwegian footballer will leave Dortmund, following his successful switch from RB Salzburg in the winter transfer window of 2020. A number of clubs were put off due to the asking price. However, with the activation of his release clause in the coming transfer windows, he would go for close to half the current price tag, leaving clubs in a rat race for his signature. Some of the possible destinations are Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Chelsea who however have gotten Romelu Lukaku for a second stint in the club.
