FOOTBALL star Erling Haaland, the Premier League’s top scorer last season, has netted a £19.6million fortune.
The 26-year-old ace has built his vast wealth while his club remains mired in a financial scandal.
Figures show his image rights firm, York Promotions, has cash deposits of £5million and assets and investments worth more than £12million.
Assets include a share in two planes worth £2.1million.
Haaland earns £500,000 a week on the pitch.
Top players earn extra cash from clubs from the sale of merchandise like shirts that bear their “name, nickname, slogan and signatures, image, likeness, voice, logos, get-ups, initials, team or squad number”.
The in-form striker has deals with big-name brands , EA Sports, Midea, Breitling, Dolce & Gabbana, Red Bull, Beats by Dre, TAG Heuer, Prime Hydration, Hyperice, and the Norwegian Seafood Council.
Leeds-born runs the company with his dad and manager Alfie, who also played for Man City.
Top tax accountant Julia Hoyle – an associate of Haaland’s late agent – is also listed as a director.
The ace has been after it was found with commercial partners.
The contracts were part of a “disguised funding scheme” to inflate club revenue by more than £900million.
The disgraced club now face possible relegation.
