At Manchester City, Erling Haaland will wear the No. 9 jersey.
Erling Haaland has been compared to a potential summer target for Tottenham.
Erling Haaland has selected his squad number and is prepared to begin playing for City.
Following his official introduction as Manchester City's No. 9, Erling Haaland has delivered a message to the team's supporters.
He wore the same jersey number during his final campaign with Borussia Dortmund, where he became probably the most exciting young player in sport. Haaland, who joined the team for £51 million, will replace Gabriel Jesus, who signed with Arsenal earlier this week, as the No. 9 player.
At just 21, Haaland has already scored 62 league goals in 67 games for Dortmund in the Bundesliga, and City supporters can only anticipate him to get better. Haaland has now been named as City's new No. 9, and the player himself has sent a message to the supporters.
On Twitter, he stated: "I can't wait to start this! ".
In an effort to mix up his star-studded squad, Pep Guardiola has also acquired English midfielder Kalvin Phillips and youngster Julian Alvarez in addition to Haaland. Jesus has relocated to London, and Nathan Ake and Raheem Sterling might be on their way there as well because Chelsea is eager to hire them.
Entry is open to everyone on a first-come, first-served basis and is free of charge. More information is available here.
Haaland remarked of the reveal event: "I hope the fans are anticipating it as much as we are. It will be nice to see the other guys in the stadium for the first time and get the chance to meet our fans.
"I have no doubt that the event will be amazing. As many of them as we can hope to see this afternoon.
Haaland signed a contract with City in May after serving the German club Borussia Dortmund for 2.5 years. The 21-year-old entered the Premier League after playing in the Bundesliga, where he scored 85 goals in 88 games.
He is thrilled to have received the number 9 shirt from City. "I'm excited to continue that at City," he said. "It's been a part of my story over the last two years, both at club level and with the national team."
"Wearing it at one of the best clubs in the world is a dream come true. It's a shirt that every striker dreams to." I am very excited to begin!
