According to The Sun, Haaland was in stunning form throughout the campaign, scoring a record-breaking 36 Premier League goals to help City successfully defend the crown.

Arsenal looked on course to secure the crown for the first time since 2004, only for the Citizens to beat them to the title following the Gunners' disastrous run in the closing stages of the season.

Haaland picks Odegaard as winner

While Haaland being the frontrunner for the Player of the Season award was obvious, the City hotshot has contended Odegaard should have won it instead.

Speaking to William Hill, the 22-year-old striker further noted that some of his City colleagues, especially Rodri, were unlucky to pass under the radar of critics.

“If I had to pick another player to have won Player of the Year, I would say my Norwegian friend Odegaard has had a really good season," he said.

“There are also other teammates that could have easily won it because there’s a lot of players in the Manchester City team that have been outstanding this season," he added.
