Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland has emerged as the winner of the prestigious 2023 Globe Soccer’s Best Men’s Player award. The official social media accounts and website of Globe Soccer announced that Haaland triumphed over formidable opponents, including Lionel Messi and Mohamed Salah.
The Norwegian forward had an exceptional season with Manchester City under the guidance of manager Pep Guardiola, as they achieved an impressive treble. Haaland’s remarkable contributions to the team’s success were reflected in his statistics, having played 53 matches across various competitions in the 2022-23 campaign. During this time, he netted an impressive 52 goals and provided nine assists.
Haaland has continued his outstanding form in the current season as well, delivering impressive performances. With 19 goals and five assists in 22 appearances, he has been a crucial asset for Manchester City. However, due to a bone-stress reaction in his foot, he has been sidelined for a couple of games. Fans eagerly await his return at the end of January.
In other news, Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo secured the 2023 Globe Soccer’s Fan’s Favorite Player of the Year award. The star-studded shortlist for this award included notable names such as Messi, Salah, Jude Bellingham, and Neymar Jr.
Meanwhile, rumors suggest that West Ham United is keen on signing English midfielder Kalvin Phillips before the January transfer window closes. While clubs like Juventus and Newcastle United also expressed interest in acquiring Phillips, no formal agreements or advanced discussions have taken place yet. Consequently, West Ham United looks poised to secure the 28-year-old player’s services at the London Stadium. It has also been reported that Manchester City is open to selling Phillips, who joined the club in July 2022 for a reported transfer fee of £45 million.
Phillips’ game time has been limited at Manchester City, featuring in only 10 matches this season and accumulating a total playing time of 319 minutes. In his pursuit of securing a spot in England’s squad for the 2024 EUROS, Phillips is eager to find regular opportunities to play.
With this well-deserved recognition, Erling Haaland solidifies his status as a true superstar in the world of football. As football enthusiasts eagerly await his return from injury, the football community continues to appreciate and admire his incredible talent and achievements on the field.
