Erling Braut Haaland’s former coach says he wants to play in Premier League

Erling Braut Haaland’s former coach Gunnar Halle accepts that the striker’s associations with England through his dad might actually impact his next career move.

The 20-year-old is possibly the most sought-after players in world football following his productive displays for Borussia Dortmund, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City all thought to be in the running for his signature.

Erling Braut Haaland’s dad Alf-Inge Haaland spent 10 years in English football between 1993 and 2003, and Erling Haaland himself was born in Leeds, so Halle is persuaded that a touch of his heart is in English football amid serious theory encompassing his future.

Erling Haaland’s dad and agent Mino Raiola have effectively held preliminary talks with Barcelona and Real Madrid over Haaland, who has scored 33 goals in 33 games in all competitions this season.
