Alexander Sørloth Scout Report

Alexander Sørloth, turning out for Atlético Madrid this season, has proven himself a formidable force in La Liga's frontline, especially with his harrowing goal-scoring prowess. His style of play showcases a clinical finisher, evidenced by exceptional goal efficiency and threat, ranking among the league's finest. Sørloth's tendency towards being a direct attacking presence is further corroborated by his high goal and shot metrics, alongside a penchant for scoring over creating, as reflected by his impressive goals-per-90 rate. While his chance creation is noteworthy, especially in the role of secondary playmaker often drifting in from the right wing, his passing accuracy leaves much room for improvement, suggesting imprecision that may disrupt build-up play. Despite a middling ball retention rate, Sørloth's adept dribbling and frequent touches enable him to hold possession and navigate through tight defensive lines effectively. However, his relatively lower ball recovery and passing efficacy underscore a need for bolstering defensive contributions and improving link-up play within Atlético's system. As he stands at 29, this scout report highlights a player who thrives in sharp, decisive moments in front of goal, making him an invaluable yet specialised asset within Diego Simeone's squad.
