In a recent breathtaking photoshoot that took place in Norway, ERLING HAALAND stood for the camera as a Viking.

As he posed for the pictures in the frigid lake, the striker for Manchester City held a shield and a massive sword in his hands.

Haaland can be seen floating in the sea surrounded by steam while dressed in the typical Viking clothing, which includes fur-covered boots and a chest covering made of fur.

David Yarrow, a photographer, was holding the camera as the subject smolders for the camera with his hair down.

After a conversation between Haaland and his father, Alfie, and Yarrow, the latter two were successful in persuading Haaland to take part in the shoot.

When he is not scoring goals for City, Haaland will typically make an effort to stay out of the public eye.

There are additional images taken during the shoot behind the scenes that show Haaland smiling and laughing in between shots.

In the past, fans of both City and Norway have dressed up in viking garb in order to show their respect for Haaland’s ancestry when attending matches.

When questioned by The Times regarding his collaboration with Haaland, Yarrow responded by saying, “This was such a privilege to do, and I undertook the project with humility and a sense of responsibility.” I am aware that his time is valuable, and I did not want to waste any of it.

The response to the photograph in Norway has been very positive, and it was a pleasure to collaborate with Erling.

As a result of our time spent together, I really hope that we are able to contribute a sizeable amount to the charity of your choice. I would want to express my gratitude to the Haaland family for entrusting me with this position.

Fans can purchase the photographs taken during the photoshoot for a price ranging from £35,000 to £40,000, and all of the proceeds from the sales will be donated to a charitable organization selected by Haaland.

The 23-year-old forward has been in outstanding form thus far for City this season, scoring eight goals for the club in his opening six matches in the Premier League.
