Ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League match against Real Madrid, a Norwegian player has scored a wild 20 goals in 20 games this season. At the beginning of the month, Erling Haaland scored his 100th Premier League goal, at a rate the world’s toughest league has never seen. With a buyout clause of course baked into his contract with Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona are watching and waiting for their chance to sign the world’s best striker. Haaland promises this won’t happen – he is more than pleased wearing the City-jersey. It’s Alan Shearer who should start getting nervous about the top scorer record in the Premier League.
Earlier this year, Erling Haaland signed a new deal with Manchester City that runs until 2034. Although there has been speculation about strong interest from other clubs, everything indicates that his full focus is and will remain on Manchester City.

– That’s why I signed, because I had good conversations with the management and heard about the plan for the coming years – and it was something I wanted to be a part of, I’m calm, focused and very happy to be here. It’s a very good place to develop, and at the end of the day England is a football country and I think it’s the best place to play football in, says Haaland in the podcast The Rest Is Football.
Alan Shearer stands as the all-time top scorer in the Premier League with 260 goals. Almost halfway to that record for Haaland, it’s almost inevitable with a contract until 2034 and no restlessness about leaving City, that the world’s best striker won’t pass Shearer’s wild record.
