‘Please can we have Erling?’ – Brighton beg Borussia Dortmund for Haaland transfer in hilarious Twitter exchange
BRIGHTON begged Borussia Dortmund to sell Erling Haaland to them in a hilarious Twitter exchange.
Under a Dortmund tweet which asked users to tag another person they’d hug, The xG Philosophy tagged Brighton.
Brighton responded saying: “Surprised we haven’t blocked you tbh.”
Dortmund replied: “Not what we Expected to see in the replies tbh.”
The south coast side then asked Dortmund to sell them their most prized possession, Haaland.
They said: “Please can we have Erling.”
Brighton fans aren’t too keen to see the Norwegian at the Amex though, with some joking Danny Welbeck is better.
One fan responded: “Admin we all know Welbeck is clear.”

The Brighton admin then suggested Haaland grew up with Welbeck posters on his wall.
If Brighton were willing to splash £64million on one player, they could activate Haaland’s supposed release clause.
But with the players future at Dortmund in doubt and multiple of Europe’s elite tracking him, the Seagulls would stand next to no chance of landing him.
If they did somehow land Haaland, they’d probably stand a good chance at matching or exceeding their expected points rather than underperforming like they did in the 2020/21 season.
Brighton’s hilarious Twitter exchange could come back to bite them though, with Manchester City one of the frontrunners to land the prolific goalscorer ahead of next season.
