Recently it became known that Erling Braut Haaland has signed an agreement with the equipment supplier Nike.
It is not known how much the agreement is worth, but there is speculation that it is a giant agreement signed by the Norwegian.
On Tuesday, the Manchester City striker was introduced as Nike’s new golden boy, and he caused quite a stir on London’s Oxford Street.

Rice: – Unreal
Many have come to look at the Norwegian star. All this has also become a theme in Viaplay’s Premier League studio.
The amazing thing is that he’s a Norwegian and a world star. They closed the largest store and the whole of Oxford Street with many, many people. This is how the world’s great stars run, says John Arne Reese.
Rice himself played for Liverpool in their glory days, but admits he’s never experienced anything like it.
– What impresses me most about Brauten is how down-to-earth he is. He is very calm and not stressful. He believes in his own abilities, it’s completely unrealistic. I’ve been there myself, but there’s nowhere near as good as things here. Reese says he doesn’t even notice.
Rice is a guest at Studio Viaplay on Tuesday evening in connection with Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Liverpool.
-Here we have Bryne’s small/large protein, sort of. It’s completely unrealistic. I have walked this street many times. There are many people. This is absolutely huge. “I don’t think people realize how big he is,” says the 42-year-old.
– You must enjoy it
Supported by football expert Lars Tyranus.
– Not real. I think we should allow ourselves to be a little proud of that. As John Arne would say, he’s a global superstar. He’s not just an in-demand footballer, he’s the most sought-after footballer in the world right now, in his age group, he says.

– We must allow ourselves to enjoy it. Let us enjoy that he and Martin Odegaard play leadership roles for clubs fighting for the Premier League title, says Tjærnås.
Viaplay reporter Jan Age Vujortoft was in London to cover the event with Haaland.
– There are very few Norwegians, no one, who have completely closed shop in order to introduce an agreement that many say is the biggest in the world of sport at the moment, says the ex-striker.
Nike has put him in a category with the biggest stars in the sporting world, says Fjørtoft.
