RB Salzburg star and reported Arsenal target Erling Braut Haaland was once again on the scoresheet in the Champions League this week.
The 19-year-old became the first teenager in history to score in five consecutive European games, finishing off Salzburg’s impressive 4-1 win at Genk with a late strike.
Haaland already has 27 goals to his name in 19 appearances and his form has caught the eye of both Arsenal and Manchester United, along with several other European giants.
And when Arsenal fan @PatrickTimmons1 waxed lyrical over the striker on social media on Wednesday evening, plenty of fellow Gunners supporters were dreaming of a future move.
Twitter: @PatrickTimmons1 I watched that boy yesterday. He’s a beast of a striker. So confident.We need him. (@Ofochebe)

Read Arsenal verdict
Haaland has gone from strength to strength this season, and if the Gunners can somehow pull off a deal for the teenager, it would be a major statement of intent.
The forward is built for Premier League football and could prove to be the perfect long-term replacement for both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
Of course, with Haaland finding the back of the net with ease week in week out, his stock will rise dramatically, which will make it harder for Arsenal to secure his services.
