However, following Norway’s emphatic victory on Tuesday, the striker told TV2: “I do not score enough goals.
“I’m close to one goal [per game] on average. I personally think that I should have had more goals than matches.”
When asked whether he had his sights set on breaking Jorgen Juve’s men’s record of 33 goals for Norway, Haaland replied: “You can probably imagine what I am working towards.”
