Let’s return to the big news this morning — that Erling Haaland has effectively committed his entire career to Manchester City, by signing a new contract to 2034.
The news was broken this morning by our own David Ornstein and has now been confirmed by the club. Here is some of the reaction from Haaland, speaking to his club’s website:
💬 “I am really happy to have signed my new contract and to be able to look forward to spending even more time at this great club.
“It is a special club, full of fantastic people with amazing supporters, and the type of environment that helps bring the best out of everybody.
“I also want to thank Pep (Guardiola), his coaching staff, my team-mates and everyone at the club, as they have all helped me so much in the past couple of years. They have made this such a special place to be and now I am City no matter what.
“I want to keep developing, keep working to get better and look to do my best to try and help us achieve more success going forward.”
I’m now wondering whether I should reinstate Haaland to my Fantasy Premier League team in the midst of this news, but it’s probably not the time for rash decisions.
