Manchester City striker Haaland, 24, was born in Leeds and would have been eligible to play for England had he chosen to.
And it could have been very different had his father Alf-Inge, also a City player, not had to retire at the age of 30. The family moved back to Norway when Erling was just three.
“You never know how it would be if maybe my father played longer in England, maybe I would be English, I don’t know,” he said.
“But yeah, I’m Norwegian and I’m proud of it.”
Haaland has scored 31 goals in 34 games for Norway.
