Waiting for someone to leave, Erling? Man City hold off on revealing Haaland's new shirt number after finally confirming his £51m move from Borussia Dortmund... so could he be set for Gabriel Jesus' No 9 this summer?

Manchester City finally confirmed the signing of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund on Monday morning - but held off on revealing his shirt number.

Haaland will officially join City on July 1 after putting pen to paper on a five-year contract with the Premier League champions, just over a month since Borussia Dortmund accepted a £51million offer for their star striker.

The 21-year-old has now waved goodbye to Dortmund after sealing his switch to City, where father Alf-Inge also plied his trade in the early 2000s.

On Monday he was pictured in a City shirt for the very first time before gushing: 'This is a proud day for me and my family'.
