More than Haaland and Kane: How many league goals has Osimhen scored in 2023?
With two goals against Frosinone in the opening weekend of the new Serie A season, Nigeria's Victor Osimhen surpassed both Erling Haaland and Harry Kane for goals this calendar year. But how many has he scored so far?
Haaland, who spent nine years in Bryne’s academy, was seen driving around his hometown and came across the familiar sight of a bakery, which brought up cherished memories from when he was still a child.
As he drove up to the bakery, Haaland reminisced about his buns stealing days, saying, “Just up ahead is a bakery. That's where I used to steal buns. I found a room where they threw out incorrectly manufactured buns. We just went in there.”

He is one of the favourites to win the 2023 Ballon d’Or, alongside Argentine World Cup winner Lionel Messi, and will certainly be giving the Inter Miami man a run for his money.
