The Norwegian striker has an uncanny ability to find the back of the net and has done so everywhere he’s gone. Now at Manchester City, his team is providing him plenty of opportunities and he’s not missing many of them.
Standing just shy of two metres tall, but with lightning quick speed, Haaland is next to unstoppable in the final third.
With so much of his career still to come, the forward looks poised to score many goals and break many more records in the process.
The Sporting News takes a look at his latest goals and records so far with Manchester City.

Haaland got a breather for Manchester City’s first knockout match in the 2022/23 Carabao Cup, remaining on the bench for Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Premier League rivals Chelsea.
