According to GiveMeSport, the Borussia Dortmund ace scored an eyewatering 52 goals across competitions, with 36 of those coming in the Premier League.

Twelve of the goals were scored in the UEFA Champions League, with the tally helping the youngster win Golden Boots in both competitions.

Haaland seeks Henry's advice

However, it seems he wants to hit higher milestones next season and decided to seek advice from Henry, one of the most successful Premier League players.

In a video shared by CBS Sports, Haaland is heard asking Henry to share with him any tips he may be having to help him improve.

"If you'd like to give me one [piece of] advice, what would it be?" Haaland posed.

Henry responded:

"I said on air that in the box, there is nothing you can learn - what you do is second to none. But... back to the goal, going on to your right sometimes and making some runs that you don't want to go... there's some stuff that you can learn."

The Arsenal legend admitted that if Haaland followed his advice, City could possibly achieve a quadruple.

"If he starts to go on his right and finishing with his right, the same run he makes on his left, it's over. He will score 100 goals per week," Henry added.

Haaland reveals his toughest opponent

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Haaland the toughest opponent he faced in his maiden season in England, prior to Man City claiming a cup treble.

It has been a season of epic proportions for the Norwegian, who hit the ground running after arriving from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
