Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for August after scoring 7 goals in his first 3 league appearances, including two hat-tricks. Haaland expressed his gratitude for winning the award and credited his team-mates, coaches, and staff for their support. He also stated his dedication to continue working hard and improving his game as the season progresses.
