New season, new hair for Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland.
Haaland has become famed for his exceptional goal-scoring and his trademark long hair over the past several years.
Ahead of the new Premier League season, though, the Norway international has opted for a new look.
The striker shared a video on his personal YouTube channel of his transformation from long locks to a buzz cut.
In the video, Haaland called another iconic long-haired striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, for his reaction, along with former Man City coach Pep Guardiola, Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher and Man City teammate Jack Grealish.
Haaland admitted he was somewhat apprehensive about ditching his long locks, saying Ibrahimovic had warned him against the move.
"Zlatan told me never cut your hair because your strength is in your hair," Haaland said. "I'm a bit nervous."
Haaland has led the Premier League in goals in three of the four seasons he's been with Man City.
The striker took his reputation to a new level over the summer, leading Norway to the World Cup quarterfinals.
With his hair in a trademark ponytail, Haaland led Norway with seven goals to take his country to the last eight in its first World Cup since 1998.
Man City kicks off the Premier League season on Sunday against Bournemouth.
