Ein junger Norweger hat die Fußballwelt in Aufruhr versetzt. Erling Haaland, Wunderstürmer von Manchester City, scheint die Kunst des Toreschießens neu definiert zu haben. Er gilt als eines der größten Talente der Fußballgeschichte, mit gerade mal 23 Jahren wurde er zu Europas Fußballer des Jahres gewählt.Lars Sivertsen ist in der gleichen norwegischen Kleinstadt aufgewachsen wie Haaland, heute ist er angesehener Fußballjournalist in England. Er kennt das Umfeld des neuen Superstars, dessen Vater Alfie ebenfalls in Manchester spielte, bestens. In seinem ausführlich recherchierten und brillant geschriebenen Buch zeichnet er Haalands kometenhaften Aufstieg nach, erzählt von den Anfängen in Norwegen und dem frühen Wechsel nach Österreich zu Red Bull Salzburg. Ausführlich beschreibt er Haalands Zeit bei Borussia Dortmund, wo er als Publikumsliebling für Furore sorgte und endgültig den internationalen  Druchbruch schaffte – bevor er in die Premier League wechselte und seitdem bei Manchester City alle Rekorde bricht, u.a. mit dem Gewinn des Triples 2023.
