Haaland Wins Premier League Player Of The Month For August
Erling Haaland has been voted the Premier League's player of the month for August 2024.
Haaland has enjoyed an incredible start to the new season, scoring seven goals in Manchester City's first three Premier League games, including back-to-back hattricks against West Ham United and Ipswich Town.
The 24-year-old is already four goals clear of his nearest challengers in the top scoring chart, having won the Premier League golden boot in each of the last two seasons.
Haaland came out on top in an eight-man shortlist that included Cole Palmer, goalkeeper David Raya, Mohamed Salah, Danny Welbeck, Bryan Mbuemo, Amadou Onana and Bukayo Saka.
It is the second time Haaland has been voted player of the month after August 2022 and April 2023.
“I am delighted to have won this award so early in the season. I am also very grateful to my team-mates, the coaches and staff for helping to make it happen," Haaland told Man City's official website.
“August was a brilliant month for the team, and I am proud to have played an important part in that. To have scored seven goals last month in three matches is great, but I will continue to work hard and improve my game."
