Erling Braut Haaland will join Manchester City on a permanent transfer this summer.

The Premier League champions have acquired one of the most sought-after players in world football for a fairly modest fee.

City have activated Haaland's €60 million release clause at Borussia Dortmund, which for a 21-year-old with his outrageous talent is a bit of a bargain.

Of course, Pep Guardiola's side will have to splash out a fair bit in agent fees and wages, but there's no denying that it's a great deal overall.

City are already a force to be reckoned with, so you dread to think what they'll be able to do on the pitch with a world-class striker in the XI.

Haaland has scored goals with frightening regularity during the course of his career thus far.

In 115 games across all competitions with Red Bull Salzburg and Dortmund, he's found the back of the net an astonishing 114 times.

On international duty with Norway, Haaland has scored 15 goals in just 17 games.

The numbers speak for themselves and they're part of the reason why the Leeds-born striker is currently the second-most valuable player on the planet.

Only Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe boasts a higher value.

As such, the Premier League's most valuable XI with Haaland leading the line is worth an eye-watering £864 million in total.

The Premier League's most valuable XI

So, Liverpool and City both have four representatives apiece, while United players take up two of the positions.

Spurs talisman Kane occupies the other spot, meaning Arsenal and Chelsea are the only members of the 'top six' to not feature.

Chelsea's most valuable player at the time of writing is Romelu Lukaku (£76.50 million), while Arsenal's is the prodigious Bukayo Saka (£58.50 million).
