Manchester City striker Aynin Chalant has been on a roll in the Premier League, and following his recent double, he is just one step away from breaking the goalscoring record held by Laurent Cronje. He has scored 99 goals in 103 games and will rewrite history with another goal in the UEFA Europa League home game against Inter Milan in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Looking back at Cron's time at Real Madrid, it took him 105 games to score 100 goals, making him the fastest player in history to reach that achievement. Ayn Rand, on the other hand, has contributed 52 goals in 53 games in his first season since joining City in the summer of 2022, and 38 goals in 45 games last season. To date, he has scored nine goals in five games, accumulating a total of 99 goals in 103 matches.
The close encounter between Manchester City and Inter will witness the 104th appearance of Aynin Crant. With another goal in this match, he will surpass Cron's record. It is worth noting that Ayn Rand has been in hot form recently, scoring in four consecutive matches, and the chance to break the record is just around the corner.
