The Norwegian's new nine-and-a-half-year contract gives him the chance to chase down the competition's top scorer - will he do it?

Manchester City have fallen well below their lofty standards on the field in 2024/25, struggling in both the Premier League and in Europe. But Pep Guardiola and everyone at the club was handed a huge boost by Erling Haaland committing to a remarkable nine-and-a-half-year contract extension.

The Manchester City striker has just signed a new deal until 2034, and if he stays he could break Alan Shearer’s Premier League record of 260 goals.
