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 during his sun-soaked holiday in the south of France on Wednesday.
The Norwegian footballer had, quite literally, let his hair down as he frolicked on a yacht with his partner and friends before asking Johansen to style his golden locks in a braid.
The pair looked like they were having the time of their lives as they jumped into the water and enjoyed a swim before Haaland showed off his water skiing skills.
The 22-year-old Manchester City striker showed off his ripped physique while wearing black swimming trunks.
Dress-wise in sync with her boyfriend, 19-year-old Johansen looked sensational in a skimpy black bikini that emphasized her toned figure.

It was revealed earlier this year that the ‘beautiful, intelligent, sociable, out-of-this-world’ schoolgirl had left behind her life in a quiet corner of Scandinavia to stand at the side of world sport’s newest behemoth.
Johansen moved discreetly into his flat in the Northern Quarter after being given leave to ‘study remotely’ from Brynne Upper Secondary School in southwestern Norway, The Mail+ revealed.
Johansen’s friends have described her as ‘the happiest girl in Brynne’, while Haaland’s former coaches in the obscure farming village are confident his stunning success on the pitch won’t induce the striker to take his eye off the ball.
Since arriving at Manchester City, Haaland has made an impressive impression at the club.
Last season, he scored an impressive 56 goals, helping City win the Premier League, the FA Cup and the first-ever Champions League, all in his first season at the club.
He was essential in helping City match Man United’s historic treble-winning season in the last campaign.
Before the game, he told the BBC that his “greatest dream” was to win the treble with Man City.
Manchester City made history when they registered English football’s second-ever Treble-winning season earlier this month.

Last season, Haaland shattered the Premier League’s single-season goalscoring record with an impressive tally of 36 goals (from 35 appearances!) and 12 goals for Manchester City in the Champions League – the most goals by a player for an English team in a single campaign .
After capping off his stunning 2022-23 season with a string of qualifiers for Euro 2024, Haaland has spent much of his off-season in Spain.
Haaland’s much-needed holiday comes after he was spotted with Rodrigo Cascante at fellow treble winner Aymeric Laporte’s wedding in Spain.
He also owns a villa in Marbella, where the player likes to spend whatever free time he has amidst a packed schedule.
Haaland and friends were in Ibiza earlier on Friday – they wasted no time in kicking off their holiday with a trip to Playa Soleil – and this was his second visit in a month.
Earlier in June, Haaland and his teammates enjoyed a 12-hour celebration trip to the legendary Spanish island after winning the Champions League.
With the European trophy, City completed a historic Treble and their long wait for league glory finally came to an end.
