Haaland’s debut season in England has been remarkable. The Norwegian sensation has scored 51 goals in all competitions, including 35 in the Premier League, a new record for a single top-flight campaign.
According to the FWA’s official website, Haaland won the award by a significant margin, with 72% of the votes, the biggest margin since the Premier League began. Initially, he was neck and neck with Bukayo Saka in the voting, but he eventually emerged as the winner.
The voting poll saw 25 different players receiving votes.

Haaland will receive his award at a special Footballer of the Year dinner on May 25, which marks the 75th anniversary of the award’s inception when Sir Stanley Matthews received the first prize in 1948.
