Borussia Dortmund have won the race to sign prolific Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland from Salzburg on a contract until summer 2024.

The 19-year-old has already proved himself a man with an eye for goal not only in the Austrian Bundesliga but the UEFA Champions League as well. Under a regulation change made last season, Dortmund will be able to register Haaland for the knockout phase as one of their three permitted squad changes.

Dortmund were far from the only leading club who took an interest in Haaland and the incredible numbers from his career so far from the son of former Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Manchester City player Alf Inge.

• In July 2018 Haaland scored four goals in the first 21 minutes of a 4-0 win away to unbeaten league leaders Brann and also struck four in five UEFA Europa League qualifiers.

SALZBURG

Appearances: 27

• Two goals by Haaland in a 3-0 win against Israel in March 2017 helped Norway qualify for their first UEFA U17 EURO that May.
• Haaland was the nine-goal top scorer in 2018 U19 EURO qualifying to help Norway to the finals for the first time since 2005. In the elite round they lost 6-1 to the Netherlands but Haaland then scored twice in a 5-2 defeat of Germany and a hat-trick, including an added-time penalty, to beat Scotland 5-4 and top the group.
• At the finals in Finland, Norway ended third in their group to qualify for the FIFA U-20 World Cup for the first time since 1994.
• The 2019 U-20 World Cup was in Poland in May and although Norway fell at the group stage, Haaland made history in the last game as he scored nine goals in a tournament-record 12-0 defeat of Honduras, the most by any player in any FIFA football competition fixture at any level.
• Unsurprisingly, that earned Haaland the Golden Boot as top scorer, his nine more than twice the next-best tally. His senior debut quickly followed and Haaland could be in the reckoning for Norway's UEFA EURO 2020 play-offs in March.
