‘Him or the kitman’ – Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur target was slammed by ex-Premier League manager


Alexander Sorloth is back on the radar of the English clubs just five years after the end of his Premier League Hölle.

The highly towering Norwegian striker, which is located on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle, was unable to get out quickly enough in 2018 according to the signatories of the Danish Superliga Club FC Midtjylland.

His legacy was minimal with his only goal for the Eagles, with a 1-0 win against Swansea City.

And soon he was loaned in the Belgian husband and later trabzonspor.

Most of the observers were unmounted by his exit, i.e. until Sorloth was miraculously found his gate boots in the Turkish.

When the palace fought for goals, Sorloth and Trabzonspor flourished.

While Palace recorded a scorer of 24 goals, the Norwegian hammered in his 24th goal of the season for the Turkish outfit.

Few would have predicted such a turn and the topic of Sorloth’s upswing in the form in an episode by Soccer on Saturday.

Jeff Stelling, who at that time, referred to Soloth’s impressive statistics, but the former crystal palace manager Neil Warnock had nothing of it.

What did Neil Warnock say about Alexander Sorloth?

“You can’t blame the palace for this,” said Warnock. “If you had seen him, you would have played yourself.

And when he was reminded of Sorloth’s record of a goal for Eagles, Warnock joked: “In a phase it was either he or the Kitman.”

But it seems that Sorloth has the last laugh after completing his nightmare in England to develop a successful career in Germany and Spain.

Laliga brought out the best of the striker with an impressive goal in the three clubs he represented.

He scored 24 goals in 90 games for Real Sociedad before moving to Villarreal for only £ 8.6 million, where he recorded 26 goals in 41 games.

However, his biggest step came when he signed Madrid for £ 28 million in 2024.

Sortloth mainly plays as Julian Alvarez and scored an impressive 24 goals for the Rojiblancos in 54 games.

But since the Argentine set its place as the number one starter under Simeone, Sorloth is unsettled in the Spanish capital.

So much that he is now considering his options before the end of the transmission window.

Atletico is suitable for a departure and you have set your price at around 28 million GBP, whereby Villarreal is also an advantage due to a 20 percent sale.

This summer brought both Newcastle and Tottenham with both clubs under top-class transfer nubs to Red Alert.

But you can compete for his signature from the duo Besiktas and Fenerbahce based in Istanbul.

Sorloth, who is now 29 years old, can choose the Premier League to heal his old wounds and to put his earlier trauma behind.

Newcastle and Spurs are both desperate to attack reinforcements before the end of the window, and a change for the 6 -foot -4in -killer could be a solid business.

And a punt on a large, Norwegian Hitman didn’t work out badly for Manchester City.

Newcastle has seen her progress for Hugo Ekitens and Benjamin Sesko, who were put in the shade by Liverpool and Manchester United.

While Brentford continues to play hardball over Yoane Wissa and Wolves, Jorgen Beach Larsen wants to hold on.

Therefore, a change for Sorloth could only deliver the breakthrough that is needed because the magpies try to fill the emptiness left by Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak that are out of service.
