Many football fans have signed a petition calling for Erling Haaland to be kicked out of the Premier League for being too good.
The Norwegian striker moved from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City in the summer and has had a strong start to the season.
This season, the 22-year-old has scored 14 goals in just eight Premier League games, leading the top scorers’ leaderboard.
He is also the UEFA Champions League’s highest scorer, with five goals in three group-stage matches.
The title of one of the petitions is “Get Erling Haaland banned from Association Football because it’s just not fair” Thousands of fans have signed it.
The petition’s summary goes as follows: “It’s just simply not fair. We can make a change. Now is the time for us people to act. This robot should not be allowed to carry on in our country.”
Shane Lee started a different petition: “Erling Haaland is a serious problem.
“He shows up out of the blue and consistently ruins the weekends of the hardworking people of this great nation. This issue must be dealt with in order to protect the mental health of millions in our society.
“To put it shortly, if things don’t change, it will only get worse. This guy is nine league goals away from equaling last season’s golden boot winner. This is disrespectful to the establishment.”
Meanwhile, Haaland has stated that he is still adjusting to his Manchester City teammates and hopes to score more goals.
