Before Wednesday’s Champions League match against Real Madrid, there is a Norwegian squad with a wild 20 goals in 20 games this season. At the beginning of the month, Erling Haaland scored his 100th goal of the season. Premier League goals, at a scoring pace the world’s toughest league has never experienced. With a buyout clause of course baked into the contract with Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona are watching around and waiting for their chance to sign the world’s best striker. Haalaned promises this will not happen anytime soon, second or third. Rather, it is Alan Shearer who should start to get nervous about the Premier League top scorer record.
Earlier this year, Erling Haaland signed a new deal with Manchester City that runs until 2034. Although there has been speculation of 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 really 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,” Haaland says 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 this goal for Haaland, it is almost inevitable with a contract until 2034 and no restlessness about leaving City, that the world’s best striker does not pass Shearer’s wild record.
