35 games, 36 goals and 8 assists. His name stands out as obvious when choosing the best player of the 2022-2023 Premier League season. It is of course Erling Haaland, 22, who received the prestigious distinction this Saturday.
It is the 20 Premier League captains, supporters, as well as representatives of the media, sponsors and British football authorities who have chosen to reward the Norwegian.
An honorary trophy that crowns a historic season. Premier League winner with Manchester City, Erling Haaland has already scored 36 goals, more than any other player in the league. 36 goals which allowed him to break the record for goals in a season in the English top flight, a record previously held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer with 34 goals.
Voted best young player of the season
The striker was also named best youngster of the season. “Thank you to my family, my supporters, my teammates and all the staff for these awards”, reacted Erling Haaland on Twitter. He also underlined his “pride” to become the first player in history to win both accolades in the same season.
The Norwegian, a native of Leeds in the United Kingdom, did not need an adaptation phase to acclimatize to the English championship. Arrived last summer from Borussia Dortmund, it was his first season under Pep Guardiola.
This is also the fourth consecutive time that the best player of the season defends the colors of Skyblues. Last year, it was Kevin De Bruyne who received this distinction, he who had already been elected “MVP” in 2019-2020. Meanwhile, Portuguese defender Rúben Dias won in 2020-2021.
