Borussia Dortmund have signed teenage goalscoring sensation Erling Braut Haaland from RB Salzburg, the German Bundesliga outfit announced on Monday. In a statement, Dortmund revealed that the 19-year-old, who scored eight times in the group stage of this season’s Champions League, had signed a contract until 2024 but did not mention a fee. “From the beginning I had the feeling I definitely wanted to switch to this club, to walk this path,” Haaland said. “Despite many offers from the very top clubs across Europe, Erling Haaland has chosen the sporting challenge at BVB (Dortmund),” chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke said in a statement. Haaland, the son of former Manchester City midfielder Alf-Inge Haaland, scored in his first five Champions League matches.
