His incredible diet, which reportedly includes around 6,000 calories a day and consists of cow hearts and livers, seems to be working wonders.
As Haaland prepares to lead Manchester City out against newly-promoted Ipswich Town on Saturday, followed by a trip to West Ham, it’s clear that everything he does off the pitch is translating into success on it.
Whether it’s raw milk or sheer talent, Haaland continues to dominate as one of the best strikers in the world.
