Shaka Hislop can't help but marvel at Erling Haaland's goal-scoring frenzy in 3 games with Borussia Dortmund.

Erling Haaland has won the Bundesliga's Player of the Month award for January despite having played just 59 minutes last month.

Nineteen-year-old Haaland, who joined Borussia Dortmund from Austrian side FC Salzburg in the January transfer window, played twice that month, scoring a hat trick on his debut against Augsburg and netting twice against Cologne.

In both matches, the Norway international came off the bench in the second half.

Since then, Haaland has scored four times in as many appearances.

Dortmund beat Manchester United to Haaland's signature despite Ole Gunnar Solskjaer -- who coached the player at Molde -- meeting the 19-year-old's advisers in December, according to ESPN sources.
