ERLING HAALAND 2.0? Like Erling Haaland, Hojlund comes from a footy family, as his younger twin brothers are footballers at his former club Copenhagen! Haaland and Hojlund are basically the same height and what sets them apart is their incredible pace over a long distance! Both strikers come from Scandinavia – Haaland represents Norway and Hojlund plays for their Nordic neighbours Denmark! Both Haaland and Hojlund began their careers in their home countries, before a short spell in the Austrian Bundesliga! They then shone in a top European league (Hojlund in Italy and Haaland in Germany), before moving to the Prem in their early 20s! FACT PACK! Age: 20 Country: Denmark Caps: 6 Goals: 6 Boots: Nike Mercurial ATALANTA ACE! Hojlund only joined Atalanta last summer and was initially back-up…

Man. City Third Shirt 2023-24 It’s fair to say some of the football Man. City play under Pep Guardiola is electric, so their new third shirt is a good fit in more ways than just size!

THE DEAL! Bayern Munich paid Tottenham £86.4 million plus add-ons, which could end up being over £100m, for the England captain! He would have been even more expensive but he had just one year left on his Spurs contract. Saying that, he still became the London club’s most expensive sale in history! WHY LEAVE? Everyone had an opinion on whether Kane should stay in the Prem or not –from your best mate to their pet! There was a debate over whether the Bundesliga trophy means more than potentially becoming the PL’s all-time top scorer, but in the end the striker said that he wanted to experience a new league, play Champions League footy and compete for trophies! HIS TARGETS! The superstar was handed Bayern’s No.9 shirt, which was previously worn…

JOINING NEWCASTLE! BARNES SAYS: “When it got over the line, and everything was all sorted, it was a great day! I’d been at Leicester since I was nine years old so I had many memories there and an amazing time at the club. It was a difficult decision but when a club like Newcastle come knocking, in the end it’s an easy one. It’s a massive club and one on the up!” CHOOSING TOON! BARNES SAYS: “I spoke to a couple of people to get some feedback! I didn’t speak to Eddie Howe until it was pretty much a done deal. I think I mainly just knew myself. I had a gut feeling! When you have that feeling, your decision is all made up in your own mind, so it…

Jacob Bruun Larsen Club: Burnley Age: 24 Position: Winger Transfer Fee: Loan Danish winger Bruun Larsen played under Vincent Kompany in the 2020-21 campaign at Anderlecht, and he obviously enjoyed the experience as he was well up for a reunion!
