The Norwegian had a remarkable debut campaign for Manchester City as he bagged 52 goals across all competitions, breaking record after record and helping his side grab hold of a historic Treble.

The 23-year-old was in competition with teammates Kevin de Bruyne and John Stones, along with Arsenal duo Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka and ex-Spurs striker Harry Kane.
