What's next for Haaland after hair transformation

The new look comes after a productive summer for Haaland, who scored seven goals as Norway reached the quarter-finals of their first-ever World Cup.

According to FIFA, the City striker's goal tally stands as the most by a debutant at the competition since Grzegorz Lato's remarkable record in 1974.

Meanwhile, his return to English football began with disappointment, as Arsenal swept Manchester City aside in the Community Shield.

The former Borussia Dortmund hitman will now turn his attention to the new Premier League campaign, where he remains City's biggest attacking threat.

Haaland has scored at least 22 league goals in each of his four seasons in England and claimed last season's Golden Boot with 27 goals.

According to the Olympics, his best tally remains the remarkable 36 he scored during his debut campaign.

Under new manager Enzo Maresca, Haaland is expected to remain City's primary weapon in their bid to reclaim the title.

Whether the new haircut signals a renewed hunger or is simply a style choice, supporters have been quick to share their thoughts online.
