Alexander Sørloth could be returning to the Premier League in the coming weeks, as he has become one of the players currently on Newcastle United’s radar.
The Norwegian striker has reportedly grown unhappy at Atletico Madrid, just a season after making the move to the Spanish club. Despite not being the club’s first-choice striker last season, due to the arrival of Julian Alvarez, Sørloth still demonstrated his quality, scoring over 20 goals and showing his value on the pitch. He had been anticipating more involvement with the team this season, but recent developments suggest a change in circumstances.
Growing Unhappiness and Potential Move
Before the start of the league season, there was no indication that Sørloth would leave Atletico Madrid. However, in the past few days, reports suggest that he has grown discontent and is seeking a move away from the club. This situation has now opened the door for him to return to the Premier League, where he is being considered as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak at Newcastle.
Sørloth’s previous spell in the Premier League with Crystal Palace was challenging, but the striker has since matured and proven his capabilities elsewhere. Newcastle are reportedly reluctant to sell Isak to Liverpool unless they secure a suitable replacement, which has made the search for reinforcements a priority for the club. Sørloth’s availability has provided an option that could address this need and strengthen the squad.
Newcastle’s Interest
According to the Daily Mail’s Craig Hope, Sørloth has now emerged as a viable option for Newcastle United. Discussions are reportedly ongoing within the club hierarchy regarding the possibility of signing the striker in the coming days. If the move materialises, Sørloth could offer Newcastle an experienced forward capable of contributing goals and complementing their attacking options.
While the situation is still developing, the interest in Sørloth highlights Newcastle’s proactive approach in the transfer market and their determination to secure a replacement before considering any departures. Supporters will be watching closely to see whether the Norwegian striker can make a successful return to the Premier League and provide the goals the club is seeking.
