Haaland finished ahead of teammate Kevin De Bruyne, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Marcus Rashford, Harry Kane and Kieran Trippier.

The 22-year-old has scored 36 league goals in just 35 appearances – breaking a 29-year record for the most strikes across a Premier League campaign.

He has also contributed eight assists as well as helping City to a third consecutive Premier League title and the finals of the FA Cup and Champions League in June.

His 44 total goal involvements is the joint highest of all-time, equalling a record set by former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry in the 2002/03 season.

A City player has now won the trophy for four consecutive seasons with team-mate Kevin De Bruyne collecting it in 2019/20 and 2021/22 and Ruben Dias in 2020/21.

Former City captain Vincent Kompany also won the award in 2011/12.

Haaland has already claimed the 2023 Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award, earning more than 80% of the vote in the process.

He has also been nominated for the PFA Player of the Season award.
