New season, new hairstyle for Haaland! Man City star Erling appears to chop off iconic long hair and shows off new look ahead of Premier League campaign

Erling Haaland has shocked fans by debuting a new hairstyle.

The Manchester City striker has abandoned his trademark Viking-style long locks and opted for a buzz but. 

He teased the new trim in a short Instagram video on Sunday morning and fans will get to see it in all its glory as City take on Bournemouth in their Premier League opener.

Haaland has varied his hairstyle down the years, sometimes adopting a ponytail and other times letting his plumage fall freely, but this is a new aesthetic for the 26-year-old.  

The forward has enjoyed a free-spirited summer holiday since reaching the World Cup quarter-finals with Norway. 

He spent time hanging out with Pretty Little Thing founder Umar Kamani on a yacht in the French Riviera and also went on a boat trip around Sicily. 

Haaland also had the chance to meet basketball legend Michael Jordan, a link-up brokered by one of Kamani’s friends, as exclusively revealed by Daily Mail Sport. 

He and Kamani were merrymaking at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, a stunning coastal resort in Antibes where suites break the bank at up to £7,058 per night. 

Then again, that’s merely a drop in the ocean for Haaland, who nets close to £1million per week, and Kamani, whose net worth is estimated to be around $1billion (£797m). 

Haaland recently claimed on Snapchat that his brain is ‘fried’ after playing in 67 games for club and country last season.
