Over 1.8 million people have signed a petition calling on the UK government and the Premier League Board to remove Manchester City's goal poacher, Erling Haaland from the English Premier League.

According to the petitioners, the Norwegian international who is firing from all cylinders for Pep Guardiola's side should be removed for his robotic stats.

Erling Haaland has taken the English Premier League by storm since joining the Cityzens from German Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old has scored 14 goals in the opening 8 games of the Premier League season and has produced 5 goals after matchday 3 in the UEFA Champions League.

The energetic goal machine has now netted 28 goals in 22 appearances in the UEFA Champions League.

Haaland has become a monster and a threat to the other 19 PL clubs, and rival fans are not quite pleased with his staggering numbers.

At the time of this publication, the petition has garnered over 1.8 million signatures in less than 24 hours.
