Erling Haaland wins the PFA Player of the Year after stunning 52-goal, Treble-winning season - beating out team-mates Kevin De Bruyne and John Stones to the gong

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been named the PFA Player of the Year following his record-breaking campaign.

Along with Manchester City winning an historic Treble, Haaland took English football by storm in his first year, scoring 52 goals in just 51 appearances.

In the Premier League the Norwegian scored 36 goals in 35 games - a new record - making him the unanimous selection to wrestle the PFA gong from Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.

By winning the award, voted for by peers, in his debut Premier League season Haaland, who beat team-mates Kevin De Bruyne and John Stones to the trophy, becomes the first overseas player since Ruud van Nistelrooy in the 2001-02 campaign to win it in his debut season.
