Ballon d'Or Race Heats Up: Erling Halaand Breaks The All-Time Scoring List in The Premier League!

Let me tell you a story about the Viking who is creating panic and turmoil inside the world of football, and depending on which side of Manchester you belong from, you might be enjoying this once-in-a-lifetime show or filled with dread and horror!

 

Born in Leeds in the year 2000 to Alfie Halaand, who was plying his trade in the Premier League at the time, Erling Halaand moved to Norway at the age of three, only to return after almost two decades and create havoc.

 

Playing against David Moyes-led West Ham United, Erling Halaand scored the second goal of the match and engraved his name at the very top of a coveted list. Halaand created history and became the highest scorer in a single season of the Premier League, with 35 goals to his name.

 

He surpassed the likes of Alan Shearer, Andy Cole, and Mohamed Salah, to name a few, while notching up the top spot.

 

With 5 more games to go in the Premier League, Erling Halaand is determined to set a record that would be next to impossible to beat in the upcoming years. (If the Norwegian doesn't break it himself the next season)

 

With Manchester City in a firm position to win the league title, and with the astounding run in the Champions League, it seems that Erling Halaand will be rewarded for his incredible run of form with the Ballon d'Or this year. With Lionel Messi leading the list, one can't overlook Halaand, especially after the consistent performance he has put up in his debut season in the Premier League, pondered by many as the "Hardest League in the World."

 

Many fans and critics have already regarded the giant 6 ft 4-inch striker as the "Best Player in the World" currently. Halaand has already reached the 50-goal mark across all competitions, besides becoming the highest scorer in the Premier League in a single season.

 

Some fans also went on to the extent to say that Halaand has already surpassed the legacy Cristiano Ronaldo left in the Premier League. Others suggested that he is way ahead of Mbappe and Messi and deserves to take home the coveted Ballon d'Or this year.

 

 

Whether the accolade comes his way would be interesting to see in the upcoming months, but for now, every football fan has their eyes positioned on the Norwegian machine. With few more games to be played yet in the season, it seems Halaand is going to seal his numbers in a way that no one ever thinks of breaking it.

 

The way he has taken his debut season at Manchester City by storm, shattering world-class defenses and making goalscoring look fun and an easy job, deserves a lot of respect and appreciation. No matter which club you support or part of the world you belong to, you can't take your eyes off this beast at the moment!
