ERLING HAALAND RB Salzburg to Borussia Dortmund £17 million Haaland’s impact at Dortmund has been as explosive as it was at Salzburg! His first seven goals came in just eight shots, and just over two hours of game time! Getting him for less than £20 million could be one of the best bargains ever – although his release clause means he can be snapped up in 2021 for £63m! CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN Tottenham to Inter £16.9 million MATCH will miss Eriksen’s classy creativity in the Premier League, but he could be the missing piece of the jigsaw for Inter.
