Erling Haaland won ahead of his fellow shortlisted players Kevin De Bruyne, Harry Kane, Martin Odegaard, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Kieran Trippier. This is a title that is considered well-deserved for the 22-year-old Norwegian player in his first season at Man City and playing in the Premier League.
Erling Haaland deserves the title of Best Player of the Premier League season 2022 - 2023
The Premier League Player of the Year award is decided by a combination of public voting, a panel of experts and the captains of the 20 Premier League clubs. Erling Haaland also became the third consecutive Man City player to receive the award after De Bruyne and centre-back Ruben Dias.
Previously, De Bruyne won the title in 2 seasons including 2019 - 2020 and 2021 - 2022, while Dias won in the 2020 - 2021 season. This also reflects the dominance of Man City Club in the Premier League when they won the championship 3 times in a row and the 5th time in just the last 6 seasons.
In his first season playing for Man City, Erling Haaland has scored a total of 52 goals and has 9 assists. In the Premier League alone, he has scored 36 goals and 8 assists. This record has helped Erling Haaland surpass two famous former players Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, who each scored 34 goals in a previous season. This number of goals will increase if the Norwegian striker continues to score in the final match of the season when Man City meets Brentford on the evening of May 28.

The Premier League Player of the Year award came to Erling Haaland just a few days after he was also voted for the same title by the Football Writers' Association (FWA). "I didn't expect it to be this good! Of course, I always wanted this title. To play for Man City, a team that scores a lot of goals and has won the Premier League twice and now the third time, is really happy. I expected to do a lot of good things, but I didn't expect it to be this good," Erling Haaland said after receiving the FWA award.
