The latest and strangest call in football has been made in the EPL as not less than 1.8 million football fans have petitioned the Parliament and the United Kingdom for Erling Haaland to be removed from the ongoing English Premier League.
The petition is simple: Remove ‘robot’ Haaland from EPL – Over 1.8 million petition UK Govt
According to the petitioners, the Norwegian international, who is currently playing for Manchester City in the Premier League, should be removed from the league for being a robot.
Manchester City secured Erling Haaland’s move from Germain Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund to the EPL for the current football season and his arrival has become a threat to all teams as he scores easily and too many times.
His success rate has become annoying to fans of other teams in the EPL, as they see him as a player in a million who can demolish their team.
The 22-year-old has been tagged as a robot, but others have described his abilities as the best modern football can get in a striker.
The 2022/2023 football season is so young, but the 22-year-old has scored 14 goals in just 8 league Premier League games and has also found the net 5 times already in 3 UEFA Champions League matches this season.
In all, he has netted 28 goals in 22 appearances in the UEFA Champions League. The free-scoring Haaland has been described as the new goal-scoring machine and monster that torments defenders and makes goalkeepers look useless when he gets into the eighteen-yard box.
These have necessitated calls by fans of other EPL teams to petition the UK government and parliament for his removal from the league.
