ERLING HAALAND regularly wows football fans everywhere with his incredible goal-scoring ability - and now he's won his first ever Premier League trophy.

The Manchester City star's success is perhaps less surprising, however, when you consider the impressive sporting talents of his mother, Gry Marita Braut, and father, Alf-Inge Haaland.

Who is Erling Haaland's mum Gry Marita Braut?

Former Borussia Dortmund player Erling Haaland is the son of Gry Marita Braut, an accomplished athlete in her home of Norway.

The Man City star's mother participated in the heptathlon and was once the Norwegian champion.

A heptathlon consists of the 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, and 200m sprint, followed by the long jump, javelin throw, and 800m run.

Braut lived in the UK with her ex-husband Alfie and three children when Alfie was a footballer in the Premier League, but the family moved back to Norway after he retired.

Haaland's mum's Instagram account is private and, though she has made occasional appearances on her children's own social media pages in the past, she largely stays out of the spotlight.

Who is Erling Haaland's dad Alfie?

Erling Haaland followed in the footsteps of his father when choosing his career.

His dad, Alf-Inge Haaland, also known as Alfie, was once a professional footballer.

As well as being a part of Norway’s national football team, Alfie played in the Premier League for Nottingham Forest, Leeds United, and his son’s current team Man City.

Alfie, born on November 23, 1972, played as a right back and midfielder throughout his career, which came to an end in 2003 when he retired.

Throughout his time as a footballer, Alfie had an ongoing rivalry with Manchester United legend Roy Keane.

Things came to a head between the pair in 2001 when Keane infamously carried out a nasty tackle on Alfie, landing him a £5,000 fine and three-match suspension.

Who are Erling Haaland's siblings?

Erling has an older brother, finance student Astor Haaland, and older sister, Instagram personality Gabrielle Braut Haaland.

Gabrielle married Norwegian football player Jan Gunnar Eide in 2020 and the pair welcomed their first child the following year.

She appears to be very close with her brothers and often shares pictures with her siblings with her over 108k followers.

The trio's father, Alfie, also has two daughters with his second wife, Anita Strømsvol.

The adorable girls have featured in several posts with their famous big brother Erling on Alfie's Instagram account.

Football clearly runs in the family as Erling's two cousins, Jonatan Braut Brunes and Albert Tjaland play professionally as strikers.

What is Erling Haaland's net worth?

Erling is thought to have amassed a net worth in the region of £32m, though this will no doubt increase as his success continues.

It is believed he earns £45m per year at Man City.

Haaland's salary is £375,000 a week, though he has a series of bonuses built into his contract which see him take home a staggering £865,000 per week.

Man City are clearly getting their money's worth from the striker, as Haaland has scored 12 goals in eight games in the 2022/23 Champions League, making him the tournament's top goal scorer.
