Manchester City star Erling Haaland is living his dream playing and scoring goals in the Premier League, his father Alfie Haaland has revealed.

“I am very proud,” he said.

“It’s great to see. He has always loved the Premier League and it’s been a dream of his for a long time. He had a great time in Germany also but obviously it’s very special to play in England.

“It’s a privilege for the players to play for a great club in the Premier League. They should be happy. It might be for just a short time of your life and if you can’t enjoy playing on this stage then something’s wrong with you.

“I enjoy when he smiles and when he celebrates the goals of his team-mates, it’s great to see.

“We dreamt of it [breaking records]. Maybe we didn’t think it was possible but it was a dream and when you play for a very good team.

“That’s the reason we came here but we didn’t expect it to happen that fast.”
