Records and Awards - These two things have become quite common for Erling Haaland since joining Manchester City. He is shaking things up as soon as he starts playing for this English club. The Norwegian striker has become the best footballer of the year in the English Premier League of 2023.

In the shortlist of this year's best footballer, alongside Haaland, was Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City, Bukayo Saka from Arsenal, Martin Odegaard, Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, Harry Kane from Tottenham, and Callum Wilson from Newcastle. Haaland emerged as the best footballer in the Premier League, leaving everyone behind. After his tremendous performance, he won the Premier League Player of the Year award for the fourth consecutive season.

In the current season, Haaland has played a total of 51 matches. In these 51 matches, he has scored 52 goals and provided 9 assists, with 36 goals in the Premier League alone. This is the highest in a single season in the Premier League. Now, the opportunity for Haaland to achieve the treble record is in front of him. In the upcoming season, Manchester City has two more final matches to play. On June 3rd, they will face their city rivals, Manchester United, in the FA Cup, and on June 10th, they will face Inter Milan in the Champions League. Just a few days ago, Haaland was named the Football Writers' Association's Player of the Year for Manchester City.
