# Palace fans not happy with the club’s decision on Sorloth

Crystal Palace allowed striker Alexander Sorloth to complete a [two-season loan move to Trabzonspor](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2019/august/alexander-sorloth-joins-trabzonspor-on-loan2/) last summer.

The striker[failed to score a single league goal](https://www.premierleague.com/players/15685/Alexander-S%C3%B8rloth/stats) for the Eagles in 16 appearances and was shipped off to Turkey, where he is now in prolific goalscoring form.

The Norway international has found the back of the net[21 times in all competitions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alexander-sorloth/leistungsdaten/spieler/238407) for Trabzonspor this season, just two short of [Palace’s total league tally this term.](https://www.premierleague.com/tables)

Palace decided[not 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 move and also put in a clause where the Super Lig club [could buy him](https://turkish-football.com/monaco-scout-19-goal-crystal-palace-striker-alexander-sorloth-but-turkish-side-have-e6m-option-to-buy/) on a permanent basis for just €6m at the end of the loan spell.

Now, it’s been [reported that Palace](https://readcrystalpalace.com/2020/02/10/palace-have-tried-repeatedly-to-convince-trabzonspor-to-return-sorloth/)have been asking Trabzonspor repeatedly about a potential return to Selhurst Park for Sorloth but, the Turkish side are not obliged to do so because of the terms of their agreement.

These Palace fans[took to Twitter](https://twitter.com/CPFC_NEWS_HQ/status/1226976084941529088) to voice their discontent regarding the whole situation.
