Manchester City on Monday, June 13 announced it has completed the signing of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.

The deal is worth £51million.

Haaland, one of the world's most sought players, will officially join City from Borussia Dortmund on a five-year contract on July 1.

'This is a proud day for me and my family,' said Haaland. 'I have always watched City and have loved doing so in recent seasons. You can't help but admire their style of play, it's exciting and they create a lot of chances, which is perfect for a player like me.

'There are so many world-class players in this squad and Pep is one of the greatest managers of all-time, so I believe I am in the right place to fulfil my ambitions.

'I want to score goals, win trophies, and improve as a footballer and I am confident I can do that here. This is a great move for me, and I can't wait to get started in pre-season.'
