Erling Haaland might retire as one of the prolific strikers of the game. Averaging almost a goal in every game he plays, Haaland is redefining the clinicality of a striker in modern football.

Be it the devilish shots from abnormal angles or acrobatic finishes on the air, Haaland is the complete product of a target man. Add to that his insane consistency.

The Norwegian already has 22 goals to his name in 26 games this season and is on the path to be the greatest striker in Premier League history. But that is just not enough for him.

Off the field, Haaland is a fan favourite for the public friendly way of living. He does not fake himself to maintain a professional outlook but rather enjoys being himself.

There are multiple instances of Haaland’s transparency, especially his Snapchat posts, where he makes fun of himself and his teammates so jovially. His social media presence makes Gen Z coded people to love him as he takes no time to react to the current trend.

One of the famous crossover by Haaland in the social media had come up with the former boxer and now celebrity influencer, KSI.

Haaland had joined with KSI and Logan Paul to be a brand ambassador for their soft drink PRIME.

Once after winning the title in 2024, he pulled the legs of KSI and his favourite club Arsenal by posting a cryptic video, indirectly mocking Arsenal.

On top of all these, Erling Haaland had started his new venture as an Youtuber.

His Christmas video had gained great viewership and he is on his way to expand his post retirement plans.

Now, according to grapevine on X, a new announcement about a possible collaboration with one of the popular Youtube streamers Sidemen, is slowly being anticipated among the common audience.

Sidemen are a popular, fan favourite youtube channel, who are actually a collective group of youtubers such as KSI, Vikkstar123, Miniminter, TBJZL , Zerka ,Behzinga and Wroetoshaw.

They are famous for their Among Us compilation videos, between the fellow members, who have their own Youtube Channel. They also engage in fun and unique challenges under the title “Sidemen Saturdays”.

Haaland’s collaboration with them has raised expectations of a Haaland and Sidemen Among us stream, that would break the internet.

The numbers might evidentially support the expectations. Sidemen are a global sensation with 22.9 million subscribers in their youtube Channel. Their charity match aimed at generating revenue for philanthrophic activities, has currently recorded 19 million + views and the charity money alone accounts for £4.7 million, donated by the users.

Haaland on the other hand is himself a popular football figure, with 40 million followers on Instagram alone. Add his sudden youtube surge and the 1.3 million subscribers to it, it would be very least to say that the collaboration is a marquee worldwide event.

Although it is not yet confirmed officially from the people involved, the news comes from a Manchester City fan page named “Managing City” that provides consistent updates and all around coverage about Manchester City. The reliability of the news might be under doubt but given the recent news and transfer updates from the page, the rumour can be majorly positive as fans perceive it to be true.

Haaland uniting with Sidemen is a feast for the social media and youtube community, but it is also important, Haaland maintains the professionalism on the field in an all important title race.
