Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland has won the PFA men’s Players’ Player of the Year award.
The Norway forward, 23, scored 52 goals in all competitions in his debut season with Pep Guardiola’s side.
He also helped City secure the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League last season.
Haaland beat team-mates Kevin de Bruyne and John Stones, Arsenal’s Saka and Martin Odegaard, and Tottenham’s Harry Kane, now at Bayern Munich to scoop the award.
