We’re used to seeing Erling Haaland score goals for pleasure, with supporters calling him a robot because of how effortless the whole process appears to be – but a new video has emerged that reveals his softer side.

Haaland brightens a young fan’s day.Eager to meet some of the touring Norwegian squad, the boy waits outside the team bus with a pen and pad, hoping that one of them will come over.And who does? Only the six-foot-plus robot greets the young fan who approaches him for an autograph.

“Can I sign it?” he asks before sitting down to sign the pad.

He then checks in with the little admirer, who appears to be in astonishment that Haaland has just arrived, before signing another pad.A moment the child will never forget, and an object he will treasure – perhaps Haaland is not such a robot after all.
