Soccers new wonder kid

Borussia Dortmund completed the signing of 19-year-old Erling Braut Håland. Håland has quickly made a name for himself as one of the best young players in the world. Since making his first appearance for Dortmund on January 18th, 2020 against Augsburg scoring 3 goals in 23 minutes. Håland hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down either with 25 goals in the 2019-2020 season. This goal-scoring rate is incredible for even some of the best strikers in the world and Håland is doing it as a 19-year-old and he will only get better as the years go on. Håland’s been averaging a goal every 67.5 minutes meaning he averages 1.3 goals a game. Another major factor in the meteoric rise of Håland is the fact that he is in 4th place for the highest goal scorer across all European leagues. He also became the first player in champions league history to score 6 goals in his first 3 games. Håland also scored 9 goals in one game in the under 20’s World Cup. 9 goals in a single game is impressive anywhere but he did it on one of the biggest stages in the world. Whats makes his season more amazing is the fact that Håland is only 19 and is being considered one of the next greats to play the game of soccer. Håland has been destined for great things on the soccer field for a long time with his first professional game coming at the age of only 15. I’m excited to see what the future will hold for him, hopefully Bayern.
