Haaland unveils buzz cut as Manchester City star ditches trademark long blonde hair | OneFootball

Erling Haaland has revealed a close-cropped haircut, replacing the flowing locks that had become part of his image.

According to Superdeporte, the Manchester City forward has shaved his head, leaving behind his trademark long blonde hair, and he shared parts of the process on social media.

Team-mates, supporters and prominent figures around the game quickly reacted to the new look, noting how starkly it changes his appearance on and off the pitch.

Haaland had previously discussed the possibility of cutting his hair and has now done so as a new chapter begins.

The change also recalls his early professional years, before the long mane became one of his most recognisable features.

Beyond aesthetics, he heads into a new season with high expectations. He remains one of his club’s leading figures and one of the most watched players internationally, while his on-field aim is unchanged, to keep scoring and deciding games.
