Erling Haaland’s arrival in the Premier League has consequences not only for Manchester City’s opponents. Other stars in the league are apparently also paying a high price because the former BVB star has outperformed them in a spectacular way.
In just a few weeks, Erling Haaland conquered the Premier League. The Norwegian has already immortalized himself in the record books of the English league and has scored an incredible eleven goals after just seven games. On average, the former BVB star scored every 52 (!) minutes. A fable value that no other player can match. Not even Harry Kane, who long as the personified goal risk of the league.
According to a report by the “Telegraph”, Haaland’s flight is now even influencing Kane’s future planning. The reason: Both superstars are currently (Haaland) or after the World Cup in Qatar (Kane) without a valid supplier deal. However, both are considered “must-haves” in the industry, i.e. players that every major outfitter should actually have on their team.
The sporting goods manufacturer Nike has now put its contract extension with Harry Kane on hold. According to the report, the US giant is planning a big offer for Haaland. With the budget being tight, Nike had to set new priorities – and these are evidently a commitment from the Norwegian.
Ex-BVB star triggers “basic fascination”.
Haaland is considered an absolute marketing dream in the industry. There is a “fundamental fascination” with sponsors about the player, writes the “Telegraph”. His “unmistakable style” is considered a “big plus” in professional circles. An assessment that the business magazine “Capital” came to a few days ago.
There expert and “Sponsor Insight” CEO Vegard Arntsen explained that Haaland’s “cool style” and his ability to slip into different roles make a cooperation for sponsors extremely desirable. “He brings everything with him,” summed up Arntsen succinctly.
In addition to Nike, Puma, Adidas and New Balance are also said to be vying for the Norwegian’s signature.
