Erling Haaland pictured jetting into Manchester to complete Man City transfer

Erling Haaland has jetted into Manchester to complete a move to Manchester City.

Earlier this month, the club announced an agreement in principle with Dortmund to sign the superstar striker for £51m in time for next season. And with the Blues wrapping up their campaign on Sunday with a dramatic 3-2 win over Aston Villa to retain the Premier League title, Haaland has arrived in the city to formalise his transfer.

Haaland's move could be publicly confirmed and announced this week as City box off their first transfer of the summer - and their biggest priority - before the transfer window has even opened.

After taking a holiday to recharge after a long season with Dortmund that has been physically demanding, the Norwegian striker will link up with Pep Guardiola and his new teammates for pre-season. City are heading off to the United States for games in Houston and Green Bay before returning to the UK for the Community Shield, where they will face FA Cup winners Liverpool before the Premier League season starts again.

City will hope that Haaland can be joined by other new faces this summer as they look to refresh the squad. Fernandinho's departure has increased the need to sign another midfielder and there could be further strengthening of a squad that has won its fourth Premier League title in five years.
