"Norwegian International Erling Haaland has been exceptional since he moved to Manchester City. He is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world, and he was linked with other clubs before he decided to join Manchester City. In an interview, the player has now revealed that he watched Newcastle United as a kid, and there were plenty of Newcastle fans in Norway when he was growing up."
"Haaland would have been an exceptional acquisition for Newcastle, and the Magpies will be left wondering what could have been if they had managed to sign a player like him. He has been unstoppable for Manchester City since joining the club, and he could have transformed Newcastle in the attack. The Magpies have an ambitious project and a quality team right now."
Erling Haaland grew up watching Newcastle United and noted many Newcastle supporters and Leeds fans in his Norwegian hometown, partly due to the short flight to Newcastle. Former players Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer publicly questioned why he did not join Newcastle. Haaland has been exceptional and virtually unstoppable since moving to Manchester City, and his profile suggests he could have significantly boosted Newcastle's attacking threat. Newcastle currently pursues an ambitious project, recently signing German attacker Nick Woltemade. The club still needs more creativity and may target additions in the January transfer window to chase higher league placement and Champions League qualification.
