Leeds born Erling Braut Haaland son of a certain Alf Inge Haaland managed to score a mere 9 goals for Norway under 20's.

RB Salzburg bought him for a lot of money in January, and it’s not realistically to buy him now for less then 15m I would guess. Give him one full season in Austria, he might score 15-20 goals, we go up and then buy him for 30m. Next summer he will be 20 and if he gets a good season in Austria and keep developing I actually think he will be ready for Premier League football already in 20/21.
I used to watch him a lot when he played for my Norwegian club Molde FK last year, and he’s a brilliant player when he gets used right (get the ball inside the box or give him space to run in). As a link up-player he have big flaws, but he’s a real striker. I would be very surprised if he doesn’t make it, and become one of the best Norwegian strikers of all time (same level/better than: Carew, Tore Andre Flo, Solskjær, King)

Leeds did make an offer to Haaland but Red Bull were offering considerably more. Money talked.
