According to sources, ERLING HAALAND is planning to enter the fast lane by investing £2.7 MILLION on a brand-new supercar equivalent to that of Formula One.
The 23-year-old Norwegian striker is now going through a difficult moment due to his lofty goalscoring ambitions.

Off the pitch, though, he supposedly intends to build a Mercedes AMG One to order in order to put his collection of luxury cars into overdrive.
Haaland’s new powertrain, which has five Formula One engines, can reach an astonishing top speed of 219 mph.
The supercar can hit 186 mph in 15.6 seconds and accelerate from 0 to 124 mph in only seven seconds.
It is estimated that Mercedes is producing 275 of the unique vehicles.
The story of Haaland’s new vehicle was first reported by the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv.
They further claim that he bought the German-made beast with his childhood friend Ole Ertvaag.
Both Haaland and financier Ertvaag were raised in the western county of Rogaland in Norway.
The renowned journal, Norway’s version of the Financial Times, predicts that the “monster car” will cost more than £2 million.
When taxes are included in, the total cost will be more than £2.7 million.
Ertvaag formed the investment firm HiTecVision.
Like Haaland, he is a well-known car enthusiast.
The former Borussia Dortmund striker, who helped City win the championship in his debut season at the Etihad, purchased a Mercedes AMG GLE coupe for a somewhat cheaper £90,000.
Since then, Haaland has purchased a £300,000 Rolls Royce Cullinan SUV.
He also owns two vehicles totaling £120,000: a Range Rover Sport and an Audi RS6 Avant.
