Trabzonspor open talks to sign Alexander Sorloth on a permanent deal

Alexander Sorloth has had a superb start to life at Trabzonspor, and the Turkish side have begun talks to sign him on a permanent deal.

The Norwegian forward has had the best ever start for a foreign striker at Trabzonspor, scoring six goals in nine games.

Sorloth is the joint top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig, and this has led his club to begin talks to sign the player on a permanent deal.

Sabah are reporting that talks have begun over a potential move, with Trabzonspor very keen over a deal.

With the striker on a two year loan deal, any permanent move will happen in 2021, but the Turkish side want a deal less than the €6 million agreed that will automatically happen if Sorloth plays more than 25 games in the 2020/21 season.

Sorloth has had a superb start to life at the club, and it is obvious that they are thinking about a permanent move.

However, if he does play well against next season, should Palace think about signing him on a permanent deal?

Sorloth may have been poor at Palace, but surely he deserves another shot if he continues to play well.

matchday.
