Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has sparked baby rumours by hinting on social media that he may soon become a dad.
He scored two goals in Norway’s 3-0 Nations League victory over Slovenia on Thursday, achieving the remarkable milestone of becoming his country’s all-time record scorer.
After the match, the 24-year-old took to Instagram, sharing a playful photo of himself sucking his thumb with a ball under his jersey, accompanied by the caption, “👶🏼🔜.”
Haaland has been on a record-breaking scoring spree, having netted 34 goals in just 36 appearances for Norway and 256 goals in 308 club matches. Now, it seems a baby could be on the way for the prolific forward.
Haaland will have a chance to increase his record tally for Norway in their upcoming Nations League match against Austria on Sunday night. Following that game, the former Borussia Dortmund star is set to return to Manchester City for their Premier League match against Wolves on October 20.
