FULLY ILLUSTRATED WITH COMIC-STYLE CARTOONS, this action-packed Football Superstars story is perfect for young readers aged five and up.
Is Erling Haaland your ultimate football hero? A powerful, lightning-fast striker with an unstoppable eye for goal, Haaland first burst onto the scene as a teenager in Norway before becoming a scoring sensation in Germany with Borussia Dortmund.
After moving to Manchester City, Haaland cemented his reputation as a once-in-a-generation goalscorer, feared by defenders for his strength, speed and ruthless finishing.
The son of a former professional footballer, Haaland followed in his father’s footsteps and combined athletic power with relentless ambition. Discover how dedication, discipline and belief helped him rise from a teenage debutant to one of the most exciting strikers in world football.
Football Superstars is a fast-paced, highly visual series combining comic-style cartoons, clear storytelling and a lively cast of characters who add jokes, quotes and commentary throughout.
