'We have our man' - Erling Haaland transfer update sends shockwaves through Man City fanbase

Manchester City fans have been sharing their excitement after reports suggested that a deal is in place for Erling Haaland to join the club.

According to the Daily Mail, City are closing in on agreeing a deal to sign Haaland this summer. Discussions over Haaland's contract have reportedly already taken place and all that is left to do is for City chiefs to sign off on the deal.

Haaland has a £63million release clause in his contract but the fees commanded by agent Mino Raiola plus a signing-on bonus is expected to see any deal hit the £100m mark. The Blues have been looking for a striker for some time since Sergio Aguero moved to Barcelona.

Pep Guardiola has made no secret of that being his top priority. The Norwegian certainly fits that mould.

Despite some injury troubles, Haaland has scored an impressive 23 goals in 20 appearances for Borussia Dortmund this campaign. With that sort of strike rate it is no surprise that City fans have been getting excited by his potential arrival; here's what they have been saying on Twitter.
