Haaland, 22, has scored 36 goals in 35 games this season, breaking the previous Premier League record of 34 goals in a season, shared by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer and held for nearly three decades.
The Norwegian striker received the award thanks to votes from the public, the leaders of the twenty clubs in the league and a panel of football experts.
City players have won the award for four consecutive seasons, as Kevin De Bruyne won it in the 2019-20 and 2021-22 seasons and Robin Diaz in the 2020-21 season.
Exceptional year
Haaland outplayed rivals De Bruyne, Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane and Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier.
He was also named Player of the Year by the Football Writers Association after receiving 82% of the vote.
Haaland has the chance to increase his league tally tomorrow, Sunday, when City visit Brentford in their final game of the competition this season.
