Erling Haaland is Norway's all-time top scorer with 55 goals

Not content with inspiring Norwegians through his success as a footballer, Erling Haaland wants to do so through history - by teaching them about the Vikings.

The Manchester City striker, who is his country's all-time top scorer with 55 goals in 48 games, has donated a rare 16th-Century manuscript of Viking sagas to the part of Norway where he grew up.

Haaland was born in Leeds - as his father Alf-Inge was playing for Leeds United at the time - but grew up in the town of Bryne.

The 25-year-old and his father purchased the manuscript for 1.3 million Norwegian crowns (£100,000) in December - a record for a book sale in Norway.
