He regularly goes viral for posting bizarre Shrek-filter selfies, Game Boy sessions, and blunt, sarcastic answers to fans.Hair ties and HermèsFrom his signature mid-game blonde hair bun (where he meticulously matches his hair tie to his team kit) to his off-duty style, Haaland is a high-fashion darling.He owns at least seven Hermès Birkin bags and boasts a luxury collection of custom Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and a sky-blue Goyard bag that perfectly matches his Manchester City colours.
