'They are my girlfriends' - Haaland sleeping with match balls as he shuts down transfer talk

The Norwegian prodigy has been one of the standout players in Europe so far this season, and he makes sure he keeps his match-day mementos close by

Erling Haaland has already scored five hat-tricks for Red Bull Salzburg this season, taking his tally to 26 goals from just 18 games in all competitions so far.

The Norwegian has become the talk of European football thanks to his and Salzburg’s participation in the Champions League where he has seven goals in the group stages so far.

As is tradition, a hat-trick hero gets to take home the match ball, but the 19-year-old does a bit more than that.
