Erling Haaland makes major Martin Odegaard and Kevin De Bruyne decision amid Arsenal title fight

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has made a major decision regarding Martin Odegaard as the golden boot race leader labelled the Arsenal captain as his 'biggest rival'. The Gunners are currently two points ahead of City in the Premier League despite losing to Pep Guardiola's side last week.

Arsenal are on the hunt for their first Premier League trophy since 2004, whilst Guardiola is hoping his players can win their fifth title in six years - cementing their status as one of the best teams in the history of the division. Haaland scored in the 3-1 win against the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium, but missed a number of chances as City drew to Nottingham Forest just days later.

26 goals in 22 appearances in his debut Premier League season is an astonishing record, and throughout his career he has played with many talented playmakers. At Borussia Dortmund it was Jude Bellingham, now at City it's Kevin De Bruyne - and for his country it's Gunners captain Odegaard.
