The Norwegian Erling Haaland has been a real surprise in recent years, and at just 22 years old, he has become a machine in football and has excelled in the teams he has played for, establishing himself as a great goal scorer. Recently, he became champion of the English league with his current team, Manchester City.
After his outstanding numbers, the Premier League organization decided to award Haaland the 'Best Player of the Season' award for surpassing all expectations. In 35 Premier League matches, the 'Android' scored 36 goals, and if measured in all competitions, during 2023 he has scored 52 goals in 51 games.
In addition to the 50+ goals he has scored this year, he has also provided nine assists, as the Norwegian continues to evolve under the guidance of Pep Guardiola. Although the other candidates for the award (Kevin de Bruyne, Harry Kane, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, and Kieran Trippier) had done enough to win it, the 'cyborg' would have broken all expectations.
The gratitude of Haaland
After the news, the forward wasted no time in expressing his gratitude in a publication. "Proud and humble to become the first footballer to win both the 'Premier League Player of the Season' and the 'Premier League Young Player of the Season'. Thank you to my family, fans, teammates, and all staff for this!"
