Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland scored 15 goals in the first 10 Premier League matches in his debut season on the island.
If he continued at that pace, Haaland would reach an unreal figure and effect of 60 goals scored in one season!
However, according to former Arsenal striker, and today’s columnist and expert consultant, Paul Merson, that is impossible.
“With the break due to the World Cup, Haaland will be without football for six weeks. He needs help. Everyone talks about how great and brilliant he is, how great he moves and how strong he is, but if you don’t get the right ball, it doesn’t matter how good your movements are because you simply don’t have the ball. He wouldn’t have scored 60 goals in League Two (the fourth tier of the competition), I know what I’m talking about, I was the coach of Walsall,” Merson wrote in a column for Sky Sports.
The record for the number of goals in one Premier League season is held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, who scored 34 each in the 42-game format of the competition.
Since the 38th season of the elite English football league, the most goals have been scored by Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah, who scored 32 times in the 2017/2018 season.
