Manager Stale Solbakken attempted to deflect questions, tersely saying Haaland was “very good” and “scoring goals” before admitting he did miss one chance against Portugal he would normally have finished.
But asked if he had to speak to the forward because of the extra focus, Solbakken replied: “What we speak about is between him and me.”
Ajer did offer more of an insight, saying Haaland remained fully focussed half-way through this four-game Nations League window.
“He’s been exactly the way he’s always the same with the national team,” said Ajer.
“He’s truly focused on the upcoming games. I think he’s trying to do the same as everyone else, wait and see what the outcome is – but right now the main focus is Wales tomorrow night. That’s clearly been his way of doing it.”
Asked if he had seen a difference in Haaland since the news broke, 59-cap Ajer said: “No not at all. Ever since I met him brings lot of energy and joy to the group.
“The biggest compliment I always give is that he hasn’t changed a bit from the moment I met him even though he’s the biggest star on the planet right now.
“He’s been exactly the same the last few days as well which is not a surprise for me.”
