Haaland, 23, posted a trailer for the game on his social media .

"From the pitch to the battlefield! I'm the new Barbarian King in Clash of Clans," he wrote.

In a statement, he added: "It's been tough to keep this one quiet, but I'm excited to finally be able to talk about this epic partnership with Clash of Clans.

"I've been a huge fan of the game for a long time and know everything about it, so to appear as an in-game character is really cool."

It's not the first time Haaland has been the face of a video game. He was also the cover star of EA FC 24, formerly known as Fifa.
