Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has once again shown his humorous side during the team’s trip to London for their Premier League meeting with Brentford.
The Norwegian star took to Snapchat to share a playful moment with new teammate Rayan Cherki, joking about being “stuck” next to the Frenchman on the team plane. “Donnarumma doesn’t want to sit next to me anymore, so now I have to sit next to fat French Schjerki,” Haaland quipped in his lighthearted post, which quickly amused City fans online.

Haaland’s banter highlighted the growing friendship between the pair, with the striker said to have taken the 21-year-old under his wing since his summer move from Lyon.
According to RMC Sport, Cherki has had a challenging start at City after suffering a quadriceps injury in August but returned to group training last week.
Before his injury, the French international made two Premier League appearances, scoring once, and impressed Pep Guardiola with his attacking creativity.
As City aim to continue their strong form in the title race, Haaland who has already netted 11 goals in eight games — is set to lead the attack against Brentford, while Cherki could make his return from the bench.
