MANCHESTER CITY striker Erling Haaland has shown off a new hairstyle ahead of his Premier League return.
The 22-year-old – who missed out on the World Cup in Qatar after Norway failed to qualify – returned to action last week.
The striker was keen to show off his new hairstyle on social media
He scored once to help City to a 3-2 win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.
And he is expected to be named in Pep Guardiola‘s starting line-up once again when the Sky Blues face Leeds on Wednesday.
In preparation for the festive fixture, Haaland took to social media on Boxing Day to show off his new viking-inspired look.
The striker tweeted an image of himself while hard at work in training, but one thing was noticeably different.
Instead of his usual hairstyle, Haaland had his long locks in braids.
Along with the picture, he tweeted: “Viking mode ACTIVATED.”
The superstar striker is set to continue his hunt for the golden boot when City’s Premier League campaign resumes.
He is currently the league’s top scorer with 18 goals in 14 games.
