Not since Mbappe led France to the 2018 World Cup have we seen a footballer score his way into the consciousness of everyone who follows the game.
Erling Haaland has done exactly that, from Molde FK to Red Bull Salzburg, and now Borussia Dortmund everywhere he has went has put numbers that would make C. Ronaldo and Messi blush (well, almost).
In November his performances, wherein three goals he netted five goals, including a ridiculous four against Hertha Berlin, have meant he is the Bundesliga Player of the Month. Which, of course, means he has a brand new POTM card to pick up.

Is the Erling Haaland POTM worth it?
At a cost of 310K to 355K coins, depending on the platform, Erling Haaland is certainly a sizeable cost, but there is no doubting his immense ability.
His pace and strength, coupled with his laser-point shooting make him a real threat in front of goal.
His POTM card adds to those base stats and rounds him out as a player with better passing and dribbling.
If you already have Haaland in, you will want to get this improved version, if you run a Bundesliga team you will also find no better striker, other than perhaps Lewandoski, but not even he can match Haaland's speed.
If you can, get him.
Players have until the 17th of December to pick him.
