Erling Haaland gets a helping hand with his plait from his bikini-clad girlfriend Isabel Johansen

Shirtless Erling Haaland got a little help from his bikini-clad girlfriend Isabel Johansen on Wednesday during his sun soaked holiday in the South Of France. 

The Norwegian footballer had been, quite literally, letting his hair down as he frolicked on a yacht with his partner and pals before asking Johansen to style his golden locks in a plait. 

The pair looked like they were having the time of their lives as they were seen leaping into the water and enjoying a swim before Haaland showed off his waterskiing skills. 

The Manchester City striker, 22, put his ripped physique on display as he sported a pair of black swimming trunks. 

Sartorially in sync with her boyfriend, Johansen, 19, looked sensational in a skimpy black bikini that highlighted her toned figure.

It was revealed earlier this year that the ‘beautiful, intelligent, sociable, outdoorsy’ schoolgirl had left behind her life in a quiet corner of Scandanavia to be at the side of the newest colossus of world sport.

Johansen discreetly moved into his flat in the Northern Quarter after being given leave of absence to ‘study remotely’ by Brynne Upper Secondary School in south-west Norway, The Mail+ revealed.

Johansen’s friends have described her as ‘the luckiest girl in Brynne’, while Haaland’s former coaches in the obscure farming town are confident his stunning success on the pitch will not lead the striker to take his eye off the ball.

Since arriving at Manchester City, Haaland has made an impressive impact on the club.

This last season he has scored an incredible 56 goals where he helped City win the Premier League, FA Cup and first ever Champions League all in his first season at the club.

He was fundamental at helping City match Man United’s historic treble-winning season in the last campaign.

Speaking before the match he told the BBC that it was his ‘biggest dream’ to win treble with Man City.

Manchester City went on to make history as they recorded the second ever Treble-winning season in English football earlier this month.

Last season Haaland smashed the single-season goal scoring record in the Premier League with an impressive tally of 36 goals (from 35 appearances!) and 12 goals for Manchester City in the Champions League – the joint-most by a player for an English team in a single campaign.

After concluding his stunning 2022-23 campaign with a string of Euro 2024 qualification matches, Haaland has spent a large chunk of his off-season in Spain. 

Haaland’s much needed holiday comes after he was spotted attending fellow treble winner Aymeric Laporte’s wedding in Spain alongside Rodrigo Cascante.

He also owns a villa in Marbella, where the player enjoys spending whatever free time he has amid a packed fixtures schedule. 

Haaland and his friends were in Ibiza earlier on Friday – wasting no time in starting their holiday with a trip to Playa Soleil – and this was his second visit in the space of a month. 

Earlier in June, Haaland and his team-mates enjoyed a whistlestop 12-hour party trip to the legendary Spanish isle after winning the Champions League.

The European trophy saw City complete a historic Treble and finally end their long wait for glory in the competition.
