According to Paul Dickov, a former Scottish international who played for Manchester City between 1996 and 2002, the Norwegian striker is really set to be here for the long term. I know the family well, having played with his father (Alf-Inge Haaland, Editor’s note.) for a few seasonshe said last month, as quoted by Goal UK: Erling loves the club. He loves his team-mates, the fans, etc. He also loves living here, which is important. I don’t think Erling will be going anywhere for a while, the former striker turned manager continued. I know his family have a plan for him. I don’t know what it is. What I can say, knowing him as I do, is that he wants to be here, and for a long time.
