Manchester City star Erling Haaland is the topic of debate right now because many believe that the prolific scorer from Norway can break the current Premier League goal-scoring record.
After scoring against Southampton, Haaland now has 15 goals in his first nine games. He needs 20 goals in the final 30 games to surpass Andy Cole and Alan Shearer’s record of 34 goals in a season.
Tottenham star Harry Kane, who has eight goals and has scored in four straight Premier League games after his goal against Brighton, is the next-leading league scorer with nearly twice as many goals as Haaland.
