Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland has once again found himself in the limelight. However, this time it has nothing to do with the player’s goal-scoring exploits. Fans on social media have been buzzing after twenty-eight-year-old German rapper Shirin David tagged the player in her Instagram post, thanking him for his special message. The post opened a door of speculation, as many fans believed the player was flirting with the rapper. However, there is more to the story than it appears on the surface.

Erling had to be taken off the field in his last outing after he suffered an ankle injury. The player will be hoping to recoup from his injury as early as possible with Manchester City set to face Liverpool in a highly anticipated encounter. The Norwegian striker has made eighteen outings for the club this season, finding the back of the net on seventeen occasions.

A special post for Erling Haaland following heartwarming message

Shirin David took to her Instagram last night to post a special message for Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland. The rapper in her post thanked the striker for his heartwarming message, as she prepares for her upcoming tour.

David posted a video she received from Haaland while captioning the post, “My lost brother, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this unbelievably sweet video.”

In his video, Haaland motivated the rapper in fluent German, stating, “Hey Shirin, Erling Haaland here. I heard you’re going on tour. All the best, give it your all. I wish you all the best. Goodbye!”

While many fans believe the soccer star messaged the singer out of the blue, that’s not the case. The singer during one of the episodes of The Voice mentioned the player stating she looks just like Haaland without any make-up on.

Erling is currently on international duty. The striker is recovering from a blow to his ankle facing the Faroe Islands. Manchester City will hope that the striker can get back in top shape before the game against Liverpool.
