Erling Haaland has firmly embraced his Nordic ancestry and cut a fearsome figure by posing in traditional Viking attire as part of a photoshoot to raise money for charity.
In collaboration with renowned fine-art photographer David Yarrow, the Manchester City striker let his hair down, donned his furs, took up his war axe and shield and then waded waist-deep into a freezing Norwegian fjord in order to pose for a series of brilliantly atmospheric shots.
The photoshoot took place in the Oslofjord, which is a large sea inlet that lies close to the Norwegian capital city of Oslo. Due to the icy temperature of the water, Haaland waded very slowly out into the sea until it came up to his midriff. In a show of impressive solidarity, he was joined in the sea by Yarrow, who clambered in after him to get the best angle possible.
