La Liga
Alexander Sorloth arrived at Atlético de Madrid last summer with the expectation of continuing his upward trajectory as one of LaLiga's top goalscorers. After his notable performance at Villarreal, where he stood out for his goal-scoring ability and impact in the offensive game, his signing by the colchonero team was seen as a luxury reinforcement for Diego Simeone. However, the Norwegian forward has not found the same spark at Atlético and has gone from being a feared striker to one of the disappointments of the season.
The playing style of Atlético de Madrid, more based on defensive solidity and quick transitions, has not favored Sorloth's performance, who seems not to have found his place in Simeone's scheme. The lack of clear opportunities and his low efficiency in front of goal are undermining his confidence, leading him to question if joining Atlético was a good decision. In comparison, at Villarreal, he enjoyed an environment where he was given more prominence in the attack, something he has not managed to replicate at the Madrid club.
A Move to the Premier League?
Concerns about his performance are evident, both in the player himself and in his close circle, who would already be exploring possible exits in the upcoming winter transfer window. Among the options being considered, West Ham under Julen Lopetegui appears to be one of the most likely destinations. The English team, which is facing difficulties in their forward line, would be interested in having the Norwegian's services, either through a loan or a permanent transfer.
The future of Sorloth at Atlético de Madrid is uncertain, and the possibility of leaving in January could be key for the forward to regain his best form and remain relevant in the European scene. It is clear that things are not working out at all for him in the colchonero team; however, we will have to wait until the January window opens to see what happens with his future. By then, he might still be able to turn his situation around at Atlético.
