And strength and conditioning coach Bitcon was running a fitness drill for the players when he was targeted by Haaland for a bit of playfighting.
The Norway international ran up to Bitcon and put him in a chokehold, before letting him go and pushing him away.
Haaland, 23, also punched the coach lightly on his arm, leading Bitcon to playfully square up to the striker.
The pair then compared one another’s punching reach, leaving them both in fits of laughter as Haaland came out way on top.

Haaland got his season off to a flyer with two goals in the opening game of the season at Burnley.
It took the goal machine just three minutes to find the net in the 3-0 win and he will be aiming to produce more of the same against Sevilla.
