It is reported that Haaland, with his personal chef and best friend, was taken on a secret pollock fishing trip by local fisherman Dave Trebilcock, who transported them on his boat, Che-Sara-Sara. Trebilcock admitted that he was asked to take someone on the boat, but wasn't told who it was.

"The trip was top secret. Nearer the time I was told the person I was taking out was a superstar so it was all hush hush," Trebilcock revealed.

It is also reported that the Norwegian flew to the location on a private helicopter.

However, he couldn't escape unnoticed as fans spotted him near Towan Beach, where he took several photos with them. He even signed a City shirt for one lucky boy.

It's worth noting that such a trip at the start of the week was possible for Haaland because City was knocked out of the Champions League, and the Citizens' next game is only on the weekend.
