Isabel Haugseng: The young footballer who stole Erling Haaland’s heart

The Manchester City striker is in a relationship with fellow Norwegian who is also a footballer

Erling Haaland is in a great run of form, he is starring for Manchester City, and has all but won the Golden Boot after bagging a staggering 36 goals to his name, so far this season.

Haaland has broken the Premier League record for goals in a single season.

Andy Cole and Alan Shearer held the previous record with 34 goals.

Cole did it in the 1993-94 season with Newcastle, and in the 1994-95 season his tally was equalled by Shearer, who was then with Blackburn Rovers.

And last week, the Norwegian was voted Premier League player of the season by the Football Writers’ Association (FWA).

Although what the City striker does on the pitch is known to the world, when it comes to his private life, the 22-year-old is tight-lipped, but according to The Sun, Haaland is romantically content as he has a footballer girlfriend like himself.

According to the British tabloid, the Norwegian striker’s girlfriend is an 18-year-old Norwegian, who is a promising player in women’s football in her country, and is part of Bryne Fotballklubb.

Erling and Isabel have known each other for years, but only began a relationship a couple of months ago.

He’s a very sensible guy and it makes a lot of sense for him to be with a girl from his hometown that he’s known for years. He needs to be able to trust the people in his life and just concentrate on football.

The City striker has not commented on the matter.
