In a tribute to his exceptional debut season with the Premier League champions, Manchester City’s forward Erling Haaland has been honored as the PFA’s Player of the Year.
Erling Haaland accomplished a remarkable clean sweep of accolades following his record-breaking campaign with Manchester City.
In recognition of his extraordinary achievement of scoring 52 goals during City’s triumphant Treble-winning season, Haaland was named the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Player of the Year. This significant honor adds to his already distinguished title as the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year, which he secured back in May.
Erling Haaland has won the coveted PFA Player of the Year award
With an exceptional tally of 36 goals, Erling Haaland played a pivotal role in propelling City to their Premier League victory, triumphing not only in the league but also securing the FA Cup and culminating in the ultimate glory of the Champions League trophy in June.
This debut season etches itself as one of the most unforgettable in the annals of English football, and the Norwegian star has fittingly garnered a collection of individual accolades that perfectly mirror his exceptional achievements.
The revamped PFA awards proved to be advantageous for Haaland, as they took place in Manchester instead of the customary London setting.
In this new arrangement, Haaland, aged 23, graced the red carpet event, which departed from the traditional end-of-season dinner format. Instead, a contemporary awards night was embraced in August, hosted at the prestigious Lowry Hotel.
Meanwhile, Arsenal’s shining star, Bukayo Saka, emerged victorious in the Young Player of the Year category. His remarkable season, not just with the Gunners but also with the England national team, was recognized. At 21 years old, Saka’s remarkable feat of scoring 22 goals across both club and country, his standout performance at the World Cup for England, and his instrumental role in Arsenal’s title pursuit were all pivotal factors in securing this accolade.
