What Haaland said about his new deal

Haaland expressed his delight at signing the new deal and claimed he was super proud to secure his long-term future with City. The Norwegian also said it was an easy decision for him to sign the new deal and now he can completely focus on helping the side.

"I am super proud and happy, and I am looking forward to staying here for a long time," Haaland said in a statement.

"In the end, speaking with the people I spoke with, the hunger and the support that I have been getting for the last couple of years from the board, from the bosses and from Pep, it was an easy decision. I am delighted.

"Now I can fully focus on getting better because I am going to stay here for such a long time."

Haaland's new deal is a Premier League record as it eclipses Cole Palmer's 9-year contract he had signed with Chelsea last August. The striker's deal comes months after Pep Guardiola also extended his contract with City.

Haaland has currently scored 16 goals in the ongoing Premier League season, 2 behind golden boot leader Mohamed Salah.
