Erling Haaland's Career
Haaland got his football education at Bryne, a club side in his hometown in Norway. He rose through the ranks there and made his senior debut in a second-tier 1. Division match against Ranheim in May 2016.
The striker failed to score in his breakout season for Bryne, playing 16 league games, but he earned a trial at Hoffenheim before signing for Molde.
He joined the Norwegian side in 2017, and under the tutelage of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he made his debut in a Norwegian Cup game against Volda TI.
The young striker grew in strength, and in the 2018 season, he hit new heights, scoring in a UEFA competition for the first time in his career in Molde's 3-0 Europa League win over KF Laci.
His performances that season earned him the league's breakthrough player of the season award.
Haaland moved from Molde to Austrian giants Salzburg in the winter of 2019, after initially reaching an agreement in August 2018. He made his debut in an Austrian Cup quarter-final against Wiener Neustadter.
The striker started to develop into the goal-scoring monster he currently is, scoring hat-trick after hat-trick, including one in the Champions League, in Salzburg's 6-2 demolition of Genk. Following the hat-trick against Genk, he scored against Liverpool and Napoli, becoming the first teenager to score in three consecutive games in the competition after Karim Benzema. He scored six goals in his first three UCL group games, the most for any player in as many games.
He increased his tally to four consecutive games, and then five, becoming the first teenager to achieve the feat.
Haaland then moved from Austria to Germany in the 2019/20 season, continuing his goal-scoring exploits in a different Bundesliga. He joined die Schwarzgelben for a reported €20 million, despite interest from top clubs like Manchester United and Juventus.
Haaland made his debut against Augsburg and scored a hat-trick as a second-half substitute within 23 minutes in a 5-3 Dortmund win, becoming only the second Dortmund player to score a hat-trick on their debut since Pierre Emerick Aubameyang.
