Norwegian striker Erling Haaland has been a terrific influence at the Citizens, but the player could be in the Toffees books if not for a couple of million pounds.
How was everything?
Erling Haaland completed a £51m ($59m) transfer from Borussia Dortmund over the summer to defending Premier League champions Man City. The Norwegian national team player hit 22 goals across 16 appearances, and those at Goodison Park stayed to ponder what could have been after he passed the chance to sign Haaland from Bryan before he burst onto the European scene and became a global superstar.
What did Duncan Ferguson say about Erling Haaland?
Former Scottish player and last Everton first-team manager Duncan Ferguson has revealed that he means God, what a phenomenal player Erling Haaland is. “He’s going to be incredible, right?” Ferguson said. But according to the Scottish coach, believe it or not, Haaland was at Everton. Duncan says his father brought him to Everton and they never signed him.
He was brought in at about 15 or 16 and the team that Erling Haaland was with at the time wanted a couple million pounds for him and the Toffees didn’t buy him. According to Duncan Ferguson, the Toffees didn’t think it was the right move for them at the time.
