One of the sensations that has left much to talk about in recent years based on the scandalous goal numbers that he usually scores in all seasons, is the case of the Norwegian center forward, Erling Haaland, who has been the best attacker of the entire Premier League this season.

Not for nothing, in his last game, which was against Arsenal, the Norwegian scored two assists for his teammate, Kevin de Bruyne, in addition to the fact that in the final minutes, he managed to score to become the top scorer in a season in the Premier League, being his first attempt and already reaching 33 goals.

And it is that, the player had already been showing great qualities since he was still in the German Bundesliga, playing for Borussia Dortmund, a team where he scored 86 goals in total, since his good game has been noticeable for years, due to to the inspirations it has had in its history.

For this reason, the player has repeatedly said that he has always had idols who have marked him and from whom he has been inspired to be able to give the best of himself in each game, however, these have not been Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, because he is a lesser known player.

The inspiration of Erling Haaland

And it is that, according to Diario AS, the Norwegian always had Miguel Pérez Cuesta, better known as Michu, as his childhood idol, because he was one of his favorite players when he was a member of Swansea, and he mentions that many of his plays are inspired by that attacker from the past.
