Security chief explains Erling Haaland being dragged out of Norwegian nightclub

Erling Haaland was ushered out of a Norwegian nightclub at the weekend with the veune's head of security shedding light on the situation.

The Borussia Dortmund forward has become a global star following a breakthrough campaign.

Haaland was at a nightclub in Stavanger, a city in southern Norway, and was being swamped by fans.

And Christopher Naesheim, manager of PSS Securitas, has revealed that the attention he was receiving prohibited social distancing guidelines.

He told Bild : “Erling was not drunk. He was cooperative and showed complete understanding of the situation after having a conversation outside.

“Because of the current Covid-19 regulations, security personnel were aware of the crowd around Erling Braut Haaland.

“They knew that fans would not stop crowding around him, asking for photos and talking to him.

“In the end, the pressure became so great that we had to ask him to go.”

Haaland' father Alfe-Inge made light of the situation by saying: “Come on Erling, back to work. Big city nightlife is not for you.”

Norway have managed the global pandemic well with 252 reported deaths and 8,974 confirmed cases.

Haaland has not applied his trade in his homeland since leaving Molde from Red Bull Salzburg in 2019.

It was with the Austrian outfit that he established himself, scoring a hat-trick on his Champions League debut this term.

His displays earned him a move to the Bundesliga where he has scored 16 times in 18 outings for Dortmund.

Manchester United made moves to secure the players' services before he headed to Germany and may still look to add the striker in the future.
