Haaland. 23, has already scored 231 senior goals for both club and country, with 20 of those coming this season.
His name has quickly become synonymous with talent and he is even gaining interest from those outside of the footballing world.
One of the biggest stars in show business is Kim Kardashian, a reality TV star and incredibly successful entrepreneur.
And speaking to GQ, she revealed what happened when she encountered Haaland, who she knows from watching football with her son Saint.
“I was in Italy and I see Erling Haaland, and I freaked the f*** out because I know my son would be so excited, it’s like his thing.
“So, I’m like such a loser FaceTiming at this event being like, ‘Saint, you’ll never guess who I ran into.’ I’m FaceTiming him and I’m like, ‘I’ve turned into this person that… it’s… I’m sorry.'”
Kardashian was pictured with Haaland at a Dolce and Gabbana event and has even been seen in attendance at an Arsenal match.
She was at the Emirates Stadium for the Gunners’ Europa League defeat against Sporting Lisbon with Saint.

“I don’t know every team, I’m not going to pick a team just yet. Yeah, I’m a soccer mum.”
Haaland may certainly be able to add Kim to his list of famous fans, one that will surely grow should he maintain his world-class quality.
The striker has scored 17 goals for City this season and recently won the Gerd Muller Trophy at the Ballon d’Or awards.
