Erling Haaland has come a long way from his modest upbringing in Norway... he now has all of Europe scrambling for him - but who will win the race for the services of the Borussia Dortmund sensation?

The most-wanted man in European football will be at Manchester City on Tuesday night, whether or not Pep Guardiola thinks he can afford him.

Erling Haaland arrives in the country of his birth, the next £125million footballer off the rank, with Borussia Dortmund ready to take on City in the Champions League quarter-finals.

He and Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe are seen as heirs apparent to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the superstars who have dominated world football for the last decade.

Erling Haaland is causing jaws to drop thanks to his incredible goal-scoring heroics
The Borussia Dortmund star was quicker to 100 goals than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo
Haaland grew up in Bryne - a town with a population of 12,000 - but he is now far away from his quiet upbringing following his rise to superstardom

And he has all the credentials for footballer royalty, even at the age of 20.
