Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland is one of the most sought-after talents in European football and it's for good reason.
The Norwegian forward has made scoring goals and creating assists for the German giants look like as easy as pie, as he's overcome some of the best defenders the German Bundesliga and Champions League have to offer.
The towering striker has managed to blend his towering physique with blistering pace and as such defenders up and down the continent have struggled to get anywhere near him for the past 18 months.
As such, Haaland has been linked with moves to just about every major club in Europe, as the continent's super clubs look at their cheque books and wait eagerly for the 2022 summer transfer window.
However, before all that, Haaland has plenty of football to play in the German Bundesliga and is showing no signs of malaise or disinterest in front of goal.
His season started in ideal fashion as he scored a hat-trick in the 3-0 DFB-Pokal win over Wehen Wiesbaden on August 7, 2021.
Haaland’s first Bundesliga outing of the campaign went superbly too, as he netted twice and added three assists in the 5-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on August 14.
The striker also scored in his first Champions League appearance of 2021/22 on September 15 in a 2-1 win over Besitkas.
Haaland missed the 1-0 Bundesliga defeat away to Gladbach on September 26 due to a muscular problem, as well as the Champions League win against Sporting CP on the following Tuesday and then the 2-1 win over Augsburg in the German top flight on Saturday.
Haaland finally returned to the Westfalenstadion pitch on October 16, when he unexpectedly started the club's Bundesliga clash with Mainz. Although it was Marco Reus who stole the headlines with a tremendous volley, Haaland confirmed all three points from the penalty spot by converting a penalty in the second half and then a second in the dying moments of the game.
Unfortunately for the Norway international, he was little more than a passenger as his side were well and truly thumped by a well-drilled Ajax side at the Amsterdam Arena, as Haaland struggled to get any shots away, never mind score goals.
Haaland suffered a hip flexor injury prior to the match against Arminia Bielefeld on October 23 and there are fears that he could be out for the rest of 2021. That would mean Haaland won't return until after the Christmas break on January 8 against Frankfurt.
This page will be regularly updated to showcase Haaland’s individual club statistics for Borussia Dortmund throughout the season.
