Dressed in traditional viking attire, including boots and a fur chest covering, Haaland can be seen in the water surrounded by steam.

With his hair down, he smoulders for the camera, which was held by photographer David Yarrow.

The pair linked up for the shoot after Haaland was convinced to take part by speaking with his dad Alfie and Yarrow.

Haaland usually tries to avoid the spotlight when he is not banging in goals for City.

Behind the scenes photos from the shoot also show Haaland smiling and laughing between snaps.

City and Norway supporters have both previously donned viking clothing at matches to pay homage to Haaland’s heritage.

Asked about working with Haaland, Yarrow told The Times: “This was such a privilege to do and I undertook the project with humility and a sense of responsibility. His time is precious and I did not want to waste it.

“Erling was a pleasure to work with and the reaction to the image in Norway has been overwhelming.
