Erling Braut Haaland. Along with Napoli’s sensation Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Norwegian has been the best transfer of the season. Signed for only £51 million, Haaland has scored goals left, right and centre, helping Manchester City launch a trophy bid across various tournaments. And the striker smashed yet another record when he scored against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the quarter-final propelling his team to a 3-0 win.
This has been the story of the season, as Haaland has smashed several records. While several of them have come solely based on this season’s performances, others have come as a result of incredible scoring consistency over the years.

Eight games later, Haaland would also become the fastest player to score 20 goals in the league when he scored a brace against Leeds United. However, despite these incredible records, Haaland did not rest on his laurels and smashed the record for becoming the fastest player to score 30 goals with another brace against Southampton.

45 goals and counting, with 15 possible games remaining.
