Sorloth scorer. Sorloth that does not succeed before the opposite goal. Two faces that the Norwegian striker has taken to the extreme in which it has been his first season in Atlético. He arrived after scoring 23 goals with Villarreal and fighting the Pichichi Until the last duel. Thus came, to replace Morata as a reference forward of Simeone.
