Erling Haaland's £63m move to Man City set to be announced THIS WEEK after final terms agreed with Borussia Dortmund as prolific striker signs £500,000-a-week deal to bolster Pep Guardiola's forward line

Erling Haaland's £63million transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City is set to be announced later this week.

The Norwegian striker, 21, will link up with Pep Guardiola's squad for the beginning of pre-season after City paid the release clause in his Dortmund contract.

Sportsmail reported last month that City had agreed terms with Haaland's representatives and he will become the Premier League's highest-paid player on more than £500,000-a-week, signing a five-year contract.
