Very few players have been talked about as much as Erling Håland over the last few months. The Norwegian forward has been in incredible form since his move to Red Bull Salzburg at the start of the year, and he has become one of the most sought out players in the world. He has scored an incredible 28 goals in just 22 games so far this season, with eight of those coming in the Champions League group stage, where he became the first teenager to score in four consecutive games in the competition.

Borussia Dortmund are the side who have won the race for his signature, beating the likes of Manchester United to the signing. At just over £17 million, he could prove to be a bit of a bargain, especially given his goal record. It will be interesting to see how the 19-year-old handles the step up to a much more competitive league. He is clearly a clinical finisher, but he will now have to deliver in a team where he will likely get fewer chances, against stronger defences.
