Haaland to Barcelona!?!?

By September 23, 2024 0

Barcelona is proactively exploring options to replace Robert Lewandowski, who, despite his recent impressive form, is nearing the end of his career at 36. The club has narrowed its focus to three potential forwards: Erling Haaland, Viktor Gyokeres, and Benjamin Sesko.

Erling Haaland, currently at Manchester City and considered one of the best strikers in the world, is Barcelona’s standout candidate. However, securing him would be a significant financial challenge, with a potential price tag around €175 million and competition from other clubs.

Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon is another option, currently in excellent form, having scored nine goals in the current season. His release clause is set at approximately €100 million, and interest from multiple Premier League clubs could complicate matters for Barcelona.

Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig presents a more affordable option, with a release clause around €65 million. Despite being the cheapest target, he is less prolific than Haaland or Gyokeres. As the club navigates its financial constraints, securing any of these forwards will be a challenging task, especially amid their ongoing economic struggles.

As Barcelona plans for life beyond Lewandowski, their strategies reflect a blend of ambition and financial reality in their pursuit of a future striker.

Erling Haaland sets a new Premier League record

By May 4, 2023 0

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has created a new record in the English Premier League. The Norwegian scored his record-breaking 35th Premier League goal of the season to help secure a 3-0 victory against West Ham United that sent his side back to the top of the Premier League table.

Haaland’s 35th top-flight goal of the season came via a deft finish in the second half of a 3-0 win against the Hammers that sent Manchester City back to the top of the league. He was given a guard of honor by his teammates, boss Pep Guardiola, and the club’s backroom staff after the final whistle at Etihad Stadium.

Haaland, who has been prolific for Manchester City this entire season, has surpassed the previous best mark held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer. In a post-match interview, the star striker said, “It’s a special night and a special moment. I’m really happy and proud.”

He further stated, “It feels amazing and I’m really happy and I’m also happy for the three points.” The Norwegian has another five games to add to his tally.

Haaland, in his debut season in English football, has set the new marker in just his 31st game of the year. His 35 goals are also the most by a player in a single campaign in the English top division since Ron Davies scored 37 for Southampton in 1966-67, while Dixie Dean boasts the record with 60 in 39 games for Everton in 1927-28.

Man City’s five-star striker Haaland powers the club into UCL quarter-finals

By March 15, 2023 0

German club RB Leipzig who held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Round of 16 match were simply destroyed by City striker Erling Haaland who scored five goals. The Pep Guardiola led-side beat the Bundesliga side 7-0 (8-1 on aggregate) to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The Norwegian – whose five goals came within a devastating 35-minute spell – already had a hat-trick by half-time, a penalty, a close-range finish stemming from his pressing of the goalkeeper, and a scrappy third after Leipzig had cleared the ball off the line. Two more close-range finishes furthered the pain for the visitors, either side of Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin de Bruyne’s goals.

Haaland’s remarkable five-goal haul ensured he moved beyond the 30-goal mark in the Champions League, becoming the youngest goal scorer in the competition to reach that milestone – secured by his hat-trick strike just before the break. Also, Haaland now has 33 Champions League strikes in 25 appearances – the youngest player, at 22 years and 236 days, to reach 30. He eclipsed Tommy Johnson’s 38 City goals in the 1928-29 season.

Erling Haaland, who was subbed in the 58th minute, joked that he had told manager Pep Guardiola he wanted six when he was taken off. Speaking of City’s victory, he continued: “This was a big night. I am proud to play in the Champions League, I love this competition – as everyone knows. Five goals to win 7-0 at home, I am so happy!”

He further added, “We worked on pressing them for this game, especially at home but in every game we need to put the opposition under pressure. We are so good at winning the ball high up the pitch and moving forward quickly, working the ball to Kevin de Bruyne.”

In the process, Haaland joined the likes of Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano for scoring five goals in a Champions League game.

Erling Haaland becomes the quickest to 20 Premier League goals

By December 29, 2022 0

Manchester City’s star striker Erling Haaland has created history. The star has created a record after he became the quickest player to score 20 goals in the English Premier League.

The 22-year-old has incredibly achieved the feat in just 14 games – seven matches fewer than previous record holder Kevin Phillips, who achieved the feat in just 21 games during the 1999/00 season for Sunderland.

The striker achieved the feat during Manchester City’s league game against Leads United, wherein the Norwegian wonderkid scored a tap-in goal in the 51st minute to carve his name in history.

After the game, Man City boss Pep Guardiola paid tribute to Haaland, although he admitted Haaland should have scored more at Elland Road. The tactical master said, “We are delighted with how humble he is. He scored a lot of goals, but he could have scored more. He helps us a lot.”

He further added, “He’s an exceptional guy with his work ethic and professionalism. It’s a great threat to our opponents, having him there.”

In total, Haaland has found the back of the net on 26 occasions in all competitions – with 20 coming in the top flight.

With the current goal-scoring rate, it’s not too long before Haaland goes past the all-time record of Mohammad Salah for most goals scored in one Premier League season (32 goals during the 2017/18 season).
