Sports Take: Man City’s Haaland should be a goalkeeper’s worst nightmare

By AnnaGrace Hale | Sports Writer

Stepping into his first season in the Premier League, 22-year-old Erling Haaland suits up in the sky-blue for Manchester City. The Norwegian has made an immediate impact on the pitch with his goal-scoring instinct and is clearly one of the most successful transfers from this summer’s window.

Haaland was a scoring machine during his days at Borussia Dortmund with 62 goals in 67 match appearances. He was also named Bundesliga Player of the Year in the 2020-21 season. On May 10, it was announced Haaland would cross the English Channel from Germany to England to embark on a new season in Manchester.
