Haaland became the highest-scoring teenager in a single UEFA Champions League campaign when he scored in Salzburg's group stage match against Napoli on Wednesday, November 6, 2019. The 18-year-old has now racked up seven goals in only four Champions League matches this season. However, the match ended in a draw with both sides scoring one goal each. This ranks him above Raul and Kylian Mbappe, both of whom had scored six goals in a season as teenagers. Haaland has displayed his goalscoring instinct not only in the Champions League but he has raked up similar performances in the Austrian Bundesliga as well. He has found the back of the net 11 times in 12 Austrian league games, whilst also adding four in two cup matches.

The player has scored 23 goals so far this season, inviting attention from major clubs across Europe.

However, considering the financial muscle of clubs like Manchester United, PSG, Real Madrid and Barcelona, the player and his club will have a hectic time in the coming transfer window.
