Amyeric Laporte has joked that he's signed more balls for hat-trick hero Erling Haaland than he has signed contracts.
Haaland made history as the first Premier League player to get a matchball in three consecutive home games, after netting half of Man City's derby day tally against Man United.
It followed on from his trio of goals against Crystal Palace, and then Nottingham Forest, at the Etihad Stadium at the end of August.
And 28-year-old Laporte, who has been at the club since 2018, noted the arrival of the Norwegian had also increased the number of mementoes that needed signing.
