Erling Haaland will be the first ever real person to become a character
He's already a legend in the eyes of Manchester City supporters, but now Erling Haaland is set to be immortalised in the Clash of Clans universe.
The striker is set to become a character in the popular mobile game, meaning fans can play as the Norwegian.
Haaland, a self-confessed fan of the game, will take the form of the 'Barbarian King'.
Fans will be able to play as Haaland from 1 May, or try to defeat the Norwegian and his in-game village.
Haaland, who said it was "tough to keep this one quiet", says it's "really cool" to become a character in the game.
