Haaland happy being alongside Man City teammate De Bruyne on and off pitch

Erling Haaland is enjoying playing alongside Kevin de Bruyne at Manchester City.

The Norway striker admits they're getting closer and closer on and off the pitch.

"When I arrived at City I was already looking forward to his great crosses. Kevin is really a dream for a striker," he told Sky Sports.

"We have already shown that together in a few matches," Haaland continued. "He knows I'll be there and I know I'll get the ball. That's something you shouldn't even talk about."

But also off the field it clearly clicks between the two.

"Kevin is a calm and very good guy. We relax together and laugh and joke a lot too. In the dressing room we have a really good relationship."
