Alexander Sørloth

[daztheyid10]

For Sørloth if it was about money, he would go to a PL team 7 days a week. He´ll defintely make less money with Leipzig than with Spurs or any other PL club. But at 24 (25 in December) it is about playing. He just had the best season in his career and has a real chance to form a super exciting striker partnership for Norway together with Haaland (right now it looks like he´s positioned himself to be able to put Josh King on the Norway bench). To return to England and sit on the bench, especially after that devastating period at Palace, doesn´t make much sense for him in the long run. He´s at an important crossroads of his career, and to be honest I think he´s chosen absolutely correctly for himself. RB Leipzig suits him in the way they play, it´s a young and hungry club with a young and exciting manager, and not at least: they were looking for a new number one striker. For a hungry player on the up, it´s by far the smarter choice IMHO.

And I´m guessing that if he does well there over the next couple of seasons, who´s saying another chance in the PL will not present itself? Or with one of the even bigger Bundesliga clubs? And it´s not like he´ll be on pauper wages at RBL either ...

Fully agree, great post

Shame if we can't get him as Sorloth sounds like the name of an evil wizard and I don't recall us having one of them before. Hoddle was probably the closest thing but he wasn't evil unless you count the reincarnation comments

It could also be about playing. Plus his not exactly going to be hungry with any professional contract signed.
