Some British football fans, tired of Manchester City’s new star Erling Haaland dominating English football in the first weeks of the Premier League, prepared a petition by the UK Parliament to expel the Norwegian star from the league.
The petition for the expulsion of Erling Haaland from the Premier League on the grounds that he is a robot, which was opened with a target of 100 thousand signatures, reached approximately 2 million signatures.
Haaland’s teammate Aymeric Laporte shared a screenshot of the petition, alluding to the Norwegian star’s dismissal from football altogether.
Haaland has scored 14 Premier League goals so far this season and has three hat-tricks in consecutive home games. Haaland’s closest follower in Top Scorer is Harry Kane of the Spurs with 7 goals. The Norwegian forward scored 5 goals in 3 matches in the UEFA Champions League.
Haaland’s career
Erling Haaland, 22, started his playing career with Bryne FK. The young player left Molde, to which he transferred for 100 thousand euros between the 2016-2017 season, at the beginning of the 2018-2019 season, for 8 million euros. Erling Haaland’s RB Salzburg career lasted one season, after which Bundesliga giant Borussia Dortmund paid 20 million euros to sign the Norwegian star. Manchester City tied Erling Haaland to their colors after signing with Borussia Dortmund for a transfer fee of 60 million euros at the beginning of the season.
