Haaland one goal from breaking Alan Shearer record

Erling Haaland has been a goalscoring phenomenon ever since he touched down on English shores.

The Manchester Metropolis striker received back-to-back Golden Boots in his first two seasons on the Etihad, and has recorded 20+ targets in three consecutive campaigns.

The Norwegian seems set to make that four-in-row having hit 14 targets within the opening 11 video games this time round. His subsequent objective will see Haaland attain a century within the Premier League and, barring an unlikely barren run, turn out to be the fastest-ever footballer to achieve that milestone.

Metropolis tackle Newcastle United this night and a objective for Haaland will see him eclipse Alan Shearer’s document, on the former house of the Geordie goal-getter.

Haaland has scored 99 targets in simply 108 video games within the Premier League and can break Shearer’s 124-game document with 15 video games to spare with a objective at St James’ Park.

It will be the newest feat from a footballer whose achievements are already up there with the greats.

Fewest video games wanted to attain 100 Premier League targets:

Alan Shearer – 124
Harry Kane – 141
Sergio Aguero – 147
Thierry Henry – 160
