Manchester City striker Erling Haaland insists he is not thinking about records Haaland could, of course, get close to Alan Shearer’s Premier League record of 260. He is currently 162 adrift but Shearer himself believes the Norwegian will break it. “I don’t really know any records but this one I know,” Haaland said. That he has the best part of nine years left on his City contract gives him plenty of time to get there. He re-signed as City struggled, itself a sign of loyalty. “It's not nice to lose games and to lose the Cup final, come third in the Premier League and to go out early in the Champions League is not ideal for this club,” he said. If powering a City revival is not his only objective – “to take Norway to the World Cup, this is my main goal in my career,” he said – his contribution to their cause goes beyond the obvious.
