Newcastle United are searching for a new striker before the end of the summer and are exploring two or three options while waiting on progress over Yoane Wissa. Alexander Sorloth of Atletico Madrid is on the club’s shortlist after scoring 24 goals in all competitions last season and impressing at Villarreal and Real Sociedad. Sorloth previously struggled at Crystal Palace, scoring one goal in 20 appearances, but has since revived his form. Wolves’ Jorgen Strand-Larsen is also mentioned, though Wolves reportedly do not want to sell. Atletico are unlikely to want to sell Sorloth.
Newcastle United have reportedly added a new name into the mix as they look for a new striker signing before the end of the summer. According to the Daily Mail's Craig Hope, the Magpies are now also looking at Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth. The Norway international has been prolific during his time in La Liga, scoring 24 goals in all competitions last season, while he's also shone in spells at Villarreal and Real Sociedad.
Sorloth previously had a spell at Crystal Palace, but flopped in his time in the Premier League. The tall centre-forward ended up playing 20 games for the club, scoring only one goal, but he's since bounced back to become a fine player. Newcastle could now surely do well to consider Sorloth as an option if he's available this summer, though Atletico surely won't want to sell the 29-year-old.
