Erling Haaland spoke with WSJ. magazine about the widespread response to his shaved head. The soccer star debuted the look in August after years of having long hair. He said he expected attention but was surprised the discussion lasted four or five days.

Context

... No extra. Need maybe no bullet. Plain text. Potential issue: "additional factual detail and background drawn ONLY from material above" We included "former player" for father? Source says also a soccer star. "former player" is inference? He was also a soccer star, likely former. Could be okay. But to be safe: "his father, Alf-Inge Haaland, also a soccer star" but that's source phrasing? "also a soccer star" maybe. We can say "his father Alf-Inge, himself a footballer". That's drawn. "former" maybe not explicitly but likely. Better avoid "former". "his father Alf-Inge Haaland, also a footballer" okay. "objected to strikers wearing buns" source says didn't like seeing strikers with a man bun, pissed him off when younger. "objected" okay. "pushed Erling to earn the right to grow his hair by performing" source: father told him he had to perform, which he did. Good. "timing of new look coincided with his World Cup participation" Source: likely due to competing in World Cup this year.
