Erling Braut Haaland has been a goalscoring machine for Borussia Dortmund this season.

In his 26 Bundesliga appearances, the giant Norwegian striker has scored 25 goals and assisted his teammates on seven occasions.

Unsurprisingly, Haaland is comfortably top of the pile when it comes to goal contributions by players aged 21 or under in Europe's top five leagues in 2020/21.

The 20-year-old's haul of 32 is nine more than Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic in second-place, so the Dortmund man will almost certainly still be sitting top come the end of the season.

With that in mind, we've decided to take a look at how Haaland's 2020/21 compares to the other great individual seasons by U21 players in the 21st century.

Using Transfermarkt, we've worked out the footballer aged 21 or under with the most goals and assists combined in every single campaign since 2000/01.
