Kim Kardashian ‘freaked the f*** out’ when she met Manchester City striker Erling Haaland in Italy, the reality TV star and entrepreneur revealed in an interview this week.
Haaland has fast become one of the most recognisable football stars on the planet in recent years, thanks to his sensational goal scoring in Manchester and previously at German outfit Borussia Dortmund.
Since his £51m move to the Etihad last year, the Norwegian has already racked up an enviable portfolio of silverware, having won the Treble with Manchester City during the 2022-23 campaign.
The 43-year-old model revealed how she was blown away by the City hitman when the pair met at a Dolce and Gabbana fashion event in Italy.
