Chosen by the 20 captains of the teams of the English elite, the public and a jury of specialists, the 22-year-old Norwegian had already been elected player of the year on May 12 by the Football Writers' Association, which brings together English journalists, with 82% of the vote.
Haaland shattered the record of 34 goals held by Andy Cole (Newcastle) and Alan Shearer (Blackburn) since the 1990s. The oversized centre-forward has already planted 36 in 35 rounds, pending the final league game on Sunday at Brentford.
The raid is not over
This performance, sprinkled with eight assists, did not prevent some criticism on his low participation in the game of the Cityzens...
These (rare) contrary opinions will eventually fall into oblivion if Haaland adds the FA Cup and especially the Champions League to his exceptional 2022-2023 season, respectively against Manchester United on June 3 and against Inter Milan on June 10.
