Erling Haaland has had an incredible transformation since joining Man City
Erling Haaland has had the strangest year for any footballer and fans cannot believe the change he has undergone since joining Manchester City.
Exactly a year ago, Man City released the official video welcoming the Norwegian striker to the club after his move from Borussia Dortmund.
Having spanned the Austrian and German Bundesliga before heading to the Premier League, there has been much debate about his performances.
Some say it's insulting to Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah that when he becomes top scorer, he ends up breaking the record for that title.
The incredible numbers he generated during his UK launch campaign. Some average strikers say they would score 30 goals if they played for Man City. That was not the case at all and instead, a rather brilliant 22-year-old broke Alan Shearer and Andy Cole's record for most goals in a single season, which Cole didn't care about.
At the start of the season, some said that despite the former Molde striker's goals, the whole team would be better off without him.

At the end of the season, he changed his playing style to become a hugely important part of the operation of Pep Guardiola's side.
But that's not his only change, fans can't believe how much his physique has changed since arriving at the Etihad Stadium.

"I'm still trying to understand the transformation. Even Akanji, look at him! Do they have special training for the end of the season?" one fan asked.
"Pep brings strength and conditioning to Bayren," a second added.
Comparing the striker to one of Pep's former players, a third said:
"Pep turns players into demons, watch Joshua Kimmich before and after Pep too."
"You're a freak," said the fourth.
“He ate his vegetables,” joked another.

And one fan summed it up nicely by simply saying "Daaaaaamn!"
