Haaland Storms To The Top After World Cup Summer
Every year, bookies open a market on who'll end up as the most searched person on Google, and this year's early betting has a clear leader already emerging.
Erling Haaland has stormed to the front of the market at 4/1, riding the wave of an impressive debut World Cup tournament that's put him firmly in the global spotlight this summer.
It's a broad field beyond the Norwegian striker too, spanning sport, music, politics and current affairs, which is very much in keeping with a market that's always reflected whatever's dominated the news agenda and popular culture over the course of the year.
Search-interest markets like this one tend to shift right up until the final weeks of December, so today's leader is far from guaranteed to hold that position all the way through.
