The 19-year-old scored 28 goals in 22 games for Salzburg this season, including eight in the six Champions League group stage.

"There was a feeling right from the start that I absolutely wanted to join this club, go down this route and play football in this incredible Dortmund atmosphere in front of more than 80,000 spectators. I'm already itching to get started," he added.
Dortmund CEO Watzke was similarly excited to beat a number of top clubs to Haaland's signature.
