Speaking about his link-up with Breitling , Haaland said: “I’m a watch freak, so I was already a big fan of the brand.

“If you know my style, you know I always go for a clean look that can take me between my public and private life.

“The new Breitling I’m representing is exactly that: a watch that works for everything that I do. I can’t wait to introduce it next week and to finally wear it myself.”;

Haaland’s path to becoming a model comes just months after Grealish signed a £1million deal with Gucci .

The Norwegian forward joins NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo, snowboarder Chloe Kim, and American football player Trevor Lawrence in teaming up with Breitling.

Haaland bought every member of the Dortmund squad a watch before leaving at the end of last season.

And Breitling CEO Georges Kern added: “Erling Haaland is exactly what we look for in a squad member.

“He’s a powerful performer, he’s got tremendous character, he’s completely authentic and down to earth. Erling is the absolute embodiment of Breitling’s casual and inclusive luxury.”;

Haaland has already scored a breathtaking 22 goals in just 15 games for Man City .

And after 11 matches he is halfway to breaking the record for most goals in a single Premier League campaign – which is currently held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole with a tally of 34.

Meanwhile, City closed the gap to Arsenal at the top of the table to two points at the weekend after beating Brighton 3-1 .

Mikel Arteta’s men dropped points for just the second time this season, drawing 1-1 with Southampton at St Mary’s.
