A potential strike at St James Park would underline his remarkable scoring pace and redefine expectations for elite forwards.
When the focus shifts to Erling Haaland, the Premier League stands on the verge of witnessing a historic moment. The Manchester City striker enters the upcoming weekend with 99 goals in 108 league matches, leaving him just one strike away from becoming the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals. The long-standing record belongs to Alan Shearer, who required 124 appearances to hit the same landmark.
If Haaland scores in his next outing, he will beat the record by at least 16 matches, reinforcing his position among the most dominant forwards the league has seen. His rise comes at a time when his form is at its peak. Haaland recently guided Norway to the 2026 World Cup with a record 16 goals in the qualifiers, celebrating the achievement with 50000 fans in Oslo. The potential record breaker could arrive at St James Park, the home of Shearer, adding symbolic weight to the moment.
The list of the next fastest players highlights how extraordinary his pace is. Shearer reached 100 goals in 124 matches, followed by Harry Kane with 141, Sergio Aguero with 147 and Thierry Henry with 160. Mohamed Salah needed 162, Ian Wright 173, Robbie Fowler 175, Les Ferdinand 178 and both Michael Owen and Andy Cole reached the mark in 185. Haaland is now set to redefine what is considered possible for elite Premier League strikers.
