Mikel Arteta admits 'transformative' Man City star deserves to be Player of the Year

Mikel Arteta believes Erling Haaland has "made the difference" for Manchester City to win more games in the Premier League title race.

Pep Guardiola's side stormed to the title this season after usurping Arsenal during the run-in. Arteta's side threw away an eight-point lead after failing to beat the likes of Liverpool, West Ham, Southampton, Brighton, Nottingham Forest and City in April and May.

City, meanwhile, have won 12 consecutive league games, with Haaland leading their attack. The Norwegian has scored 52 goals in all competitions this season, including 36 in the Premier League. No one has scored more in the division since it was formed in 1992.
