ERLING HAALAND has seen his career take off once again – after splashing £4million on a new private jet.
The Manchester City superstar was grounded by a foot injury before returning as a sub in Wednesday’s 3-1 win over Burnley.
Striker Haaland previously owned a Piper M600 plane, together with dad Alfie and partners in Norwegian company Sola M600.
They sold the aircraft late last year, with aviation insiders expecting the 23-year-old to charter flights in the future.
But Norwegian paper Finansavisen reported the group have now bought a luxurious Pilatus PC-12 private plane.
The jets cost between £3.3m and £4.5m.

Dubbed the Swiss Army knife of planes, they have six business-class seats.
Aviation broker Carl-Christian Gunnestad said: “We usually liken this plane to a Mercedes SUV.
“It has a luxurious cabin designed by BMW, and a state-of-the-art cockpit. It is perfect for families or business people.”
Haaland’s fortunes have soared since joining City in 2022, winning the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup in his first season.

The Norway international has since undergone some turbulence, missing almost two months through injury and seeing City fall five points behind Liverpool.
But he now hopes to land more silverware – helped in part by being able to travel in style.
Haaland is in line to earn his first start since coming back from his foot injury on Monday against Brentford.
He managed 23 minutes of football on his return to action against Burnley.
