Erling Haaland once did truly admit that he sleeps with his five girlfriends every night and also insisted they were the key to his goalscoring record – but there\u2019s more to it than meets the eye, as things turned out.<\/p>\n
Europe\u2019s hottest prospect on the pitch finally laid bare the fascinating details about his nightly tryst with his ‘five girlfriends’, sleeping in the past with them every night. Apparently things weren\u2019t what they seemed as the young Norwegian striker that every club in the world would certainly love to get their clutches on playfully admitted the \u2018girlfriends\u2019 in question are actually the five balls that were used in the scoring of his first hat-tricks when he was then still at Red Bull Salzburg and was just starting to make a name for himself in Europe.<\/p>\n
The strapping young football hunk told Norwegian outlet Dagblade: “I sleep with the five balls for each hat-trick I have scored. I lie in bed and I feel good with them. I look at them every day. They are my girlfriends.”<\/p>\n
On a more serious tone, Manchester City finally announced that they had reached an agreement with the youngster\u2019s club Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday afternoon, with the announcement reading:<\/p>\n
“The transfer remains subject to the Club finalising terms with the player.”<\/p>\n
