Erling Haaland Poised to Join Premier League 100 Club in Record-Smashing Time

Erling Haaland needs just two more goals to join the Premier League 100 Club.

The Manchester City star has scored 98 goals in his first 107 Premier League games for Manchester City, including two in Sunday’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium.

Across his Premier League career, Haaland is currently averaging 0.92 goals per game. However, his average for the 2025/26 season is an incredible 1.30 goals per game, after he started the campaign with 13 in 10.

What is the Premier League 100 Club?

The Premier League 100 Club is an exclusive group of players who have scored 100 or more goals in the competition since it was founded in 1992.

Membership of the 100 Club is one of the most respected milestones for a striker in English football, putting them among an elite group that includes legends like Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney, and Thierry Henry.

Who is in the Premier League 100 Club?

Erling Haaland will be the 35th member of the Premier League 100 Club when he confirms his inevitable membership.

The 34th inductee was Son Heung-min, who joined the club in April 2023.

When will Erling Haaland join the Premier League 100 Club?

Erling Haaland will surely reach a century of Premier League goals and join the 100 Club very soon. At the time of writing he is just two goals away on 98.

Should he continue scoring at a pace consistent with his all-time Premier League strike rate then he would need another three games to get to 100, though it will take him only two based on his goals-to-games ratio this season.

Of course, there is also every chance that he reaches 100 Premier League goals during Manchester City’s very next fixture. That is at home to Liverpool on Sunday.

Haaland has scored at least two goals in each of his last four Premier League home games. Only one player in Premier League history has netted two or more goals in five consecutive home games. That was Luis Suarez for Liverpool in 2013.

Which Premier League player scored 100 goals the quickest?

Alan Shearer scored his first 100 Premier League goals in 124 games and that remains the record pace.

Other than Shearer, the only other players to get to 100 goals in under 150 Premier League games are Tottenham legend Harry Kane (141 games) and Manchester City great Sergio Aguero (147 games).

Erling Haaland poised to smash Alan Shearer’s 100-goal Premier League record

Erling Haaland will almost certainly break Alan Shearer’s record to become the quickest player to join the Premier League 100 Club.

Indeed, it seems unthinkable that Haaland could fail to beat Shearer’s record as it would require the Norwegian to score fewer than two goals in his next 17 Premier League appearances.

Since the start of the 2021/22 season, Haaland has never gone more than five games without a goal across all competitions for club and country.

Yet another record for Erling Haaland

When he eventually beats Alan Shearer by getting to 100 Premier League goals in fewer games, it will be the latest on a long list of records held by Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian already holds multiple benchmarks in both the Premier League and the Champions League. He was the fastest player to 20, 25, and 50 Premier League goals, and also the first to score hat-tricks in three consecutive Premier League home games. In Europe, he became the quickest player ever to reach 50 Champions League goals — doing so in just 49 appearances — and the youngest to hit every major scoring milestone along the way.

Haaland also holds the record for most Premier League goals in a single season, having netted 36 in his first campaign as a Manchester City player. That haul broke the long-standing totals of Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, who had each managed 34 in a 42-game season.

But how many goals can Haaland score this season? If he continues scoring at his current rate and stays fit, he is on course to break his own seasonal record. In all competitions, Haaland could even come close to the personal bests of world icons Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Are Man City too reliant on Erling Haaland?

Erling Haaland has scored 65% of Manchester City’s 20 Premier League goals this season.

FootballBlog.co.uk recently ranked all 20 Premier League teams by how reliant they are on one player for goals, with Man City’s reliance on Haaland unmatched by any other club.

That dominance, though, says as much about Manchester City’s tactical setup as it does about Haaland himself. Pep Guardiola’s side are now designed to create high-quality chances for their central striker — and Haaland’s ruthless finishing makes him the perfect end point for those moves. If he wasn’t playing, others would still score, but almost certainly not with the same efficiency or volume.
