It is a month since the Norway striker completed his move to City from Borussia Dortmund for 60 million euros (then $63 million) to seal his return to England, the country of his birth.
Asked what he would bring to the Premier League, the 21-year-old Haaland said, "Hopefully some more quality with me as a striker. I want to have fun. When I have fun I score goals, I smile, I enjoy playing football, I smile a lot."

Haaland has scored 20 goals in 21 appearances for Norway and netted 86 goals in 89 games in 2 1/2 seasons with Dortmund. Before that, he was at Molde in Norway and then Salzburg in Austria, where he initially grabbed the attention of Europe's major clubs thanks to his performances in the Champions League.
His father, Alf-Inge, played for and briefly captained City in the Premier League from 2000-03 and Erling supported the team as a kid, often going to Maine Road, the club's former home, with his mother to watch his father play.

Asked who his idol was growing up, Haaland replied, "My dad, of course. But in City I have many jerseys at home from (Sergio) Aguero I have to say. So of course him. From City, him."
Haaland inherits the No. 9 jersey vacated by City's all-time leading scorer, Aguero, who left last year for Barcelona only to be forced into retirement by a heart problem.
