Operator bet365 has priced up Manchester City striker Erling Haaland to score a record-breaking 40 Premier League goals at 8/1.
The move comes after the Norwegian’s phenomenal start to the new season, where he has scored nine goals in his five matches so far. This includes back-to-back hat-tricks in his last two games against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.
After the stunning start, bet365 has priced Haaland at 3/10 to be the Premier League top scorer this season, and at 13/8 to score 30 or more league goals. He is also 2/1 to be the PFA Player of the Season.
“Every man and his dog had their opinions on Haaland and how he’d fare in England, and they could be split into two distinct groups: those who thought he may struggle with injuries; that he was coming into a more demanding league, that he’d take time to adapt to Pep Guardiola’s style, and those who were right,” a statement from bet365 read.
