Shooting into Stardom: 5 Players who are having a breakthrough campaign this season

#1 Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund)

This boy is up there with the list of best strikers this year

There is hardly a doubt on who the No.1 player on this list should be. Erling Haaland has undoubtedly taken the world of football by storm this season. Still only 19, Haaland has scored a mind-boggling 40 goals in all competitions this season.

Despite joining Dortmund only in January, the Norwegian is Dortmund’s joint second top scorer in all competitions, having netted 12 times in just nine appearances.

Although Haaland has already proved his detractors wrong with a blazing start to life in Germany, it is his performances in the Champions League this season that has really caught the eye. The 19-year-old is second only to Robert Lewandowski in the top scorer’s list with 10 goals to his name, having netted in five consecutive group stage games.

Born in Leeds and eligible to represent the Three Lions, the young striker has already pledged his allegiance to Norway. That will enough to keep the English fans drooling on what might have been.

The youngster first caught everyone's attention in the U-20 World Cup last year when he made the record books by plundering in nine goals in a group stage game as Norway smashed Honduras 12-0 to record the biggest win in the competition’s history.
