• Erling Haaland’s Idol Is Zlatan

Erling Haaland idolised Sweden legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic while growing up. Haaland has named various footballers as his idol, including the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, among others. However, the name which appears most of the time is that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

His incredible karate-kick winner against former club Dortmund back in September 2022 shows that he has certainly learnt a thing or two from Zlatan's playbook. Not to mention, he has similar appetite for scoring goals.

While he may overtake Ibrahimovic in terms of individual achievements, he would still be some way of matching Zlatan in terms of enigmatic character, thug attitude, and outspoken interviews, which are just pure entertainment.

It has to be noted that Haaland had the same football agent as Ibrahimovic, Mino Raiola who recently passed away.
