The young star, who is currently 18 years old, scored 64 goals in 37 matches with the youth teams of Brenne Club, which made him gain the attention of some European clubs, and many expect him to follow in the footsteps of his cousin.
Who is Albert Braut Haaland?
Albert Braut Haaland was born on the 11th of February 2004. He started playing football in 2009 in Rossland and in 2015, joined the Brenne club, like Erling Haaland before him, breaking into the under-13 team when he was just eleven years old.
A great goalscorer during his five years at the club, he made his mark in various youth teams, from U-13 to U-19, before making his first-team debut in the friendly against Egersunds in March 2020.
It is believed that his 64 goals in 37 matches come from his participation with the youth teams in Brene, although this number appears to be an exaggeration. But arguably, this explains why Molde Club is keen to get his signature in 2020.
The Norwegian born, the club that gave Haaland the chance to reveal himself in Norway before joining Red Bull Salzburg. So Albert Brown Haaland’s move from Brenne to Mauleda gave the feeling that he was following in the footsteps of his famous cousin.
His scoring a goal in his first appearance with professionals, such as his cousin, also contributed to this media uproar, even if his family members wanted to keep him away for the time being.
“He has a great future in front of him if he works at 100% every day, but I think Erling Haaland is still a few steps away from him,” generator coach Erling Mo said in a press statement.
“He is an exciting player with many qualities,” he added.
His main quality is his powerful and accurate shots. Albert Braut is right-footed while Erling Haaland is left-footed, and Albert is shorter (1.90 m vs. 1.94 m) and yet moves as fast as Erling on the field.
“It’s great what he’s doing but I think we have to stop comparing,” Albert Braut said of his cousin in an interview with Gerbladet in 2020.
“In the short term, I want to join the Norwegian national team in my age group and in the long term, I hope to be able to earn a living playing football.”
And he answered the question of whether he was at the level of his cousin, does Albert Prout see himself playing in the English Premier League? He said, “Of course! I want to play in the best league in the world.”
And he admitted during a question-and-answer session organized by “Rising Ballers” that his favorite team is Liverpool, who may want to sign him if he rises to the level of his cousin, who is currently breaking records with Manchester City.
But Liverpool will not be the only one, given the highlighting of the newest member of the most famous football family in Norway, currently making the 18-year-old a target for several clubs, especially those interested in youth, such as Borussia Dortmund and Salzburg, and even Spain’s clubs Real Madrid, Barcelona and the top English Premier League.
