# Monaco scout Palace striker Alexander Sorloth

French club AS Monaco were left impressed by Alexander Sorloth’s latest performance for Trabzonspor, according to a report on [Turkish news outlet Fanatik.](https://www.fanatik.com.tr/vedat-muric-icin-geldiler-sorlothu-begendiler-2119914)

The Ligue 1 side were initially present to keep a close eye on Fenerbahce striker Vedat Muriqi, but after Sorloth’s good display, they turned their attention to the Crystal Palace attacker.

As stated on [Turkish Football](https://turkish-football.com/monaco-scout-19-goal-crystal-palace-striker-alexander-sorloth-but-turkish-side-have-e6m-option-to-buy/), Sorloth scored one and set up another as Trabzonspor won.

The Norway international [left Palace on a two-year loan deal](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2019/august/alexander-sorloth-joins-trabzonspor-on-loan2/) in August 2019 and the Super Lig side have an option to buy him on a permanent basis for €6m.

### READ CRYSTAL PALACE VERDICT

Sorloth has been in remarkable scoring form for Trabzonspor this season, [netting 19 times in all competitions.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alexander-sorloth/leistungsdaten/spieler/238407)

However, as reported earlier this week, Palace[failed to include a recall clause](https://readcrystalpalace.com/2020/02/04/sorloth-cant-be-recalled-from-loan-spell-in-the-summer/) in Sorloth’s loan deal, meaning he can’t return to Selhurst Park in the summer.

With Sorloth in such great form, we feel it’s only natural that other teams start to look at a potential deal for him.

We believe that it could be a mistake not including a recall clause, especially with the team currently struggling to score goals. The Eagles have scored the [least number of goals in the top-flight](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) this term.
