RB Leipzig welcomes Alexander Sørloth (24) to the club via social media. It occurs a few hours after the Norwegian said goodbye to Trabzonspor with emotion.
– After the first talks, it quickly became clear that he wanted to play for Leipzig, says Sørloth in a press release from RB Leipzig.
– The offensive football that Julian Nagelsmann (head coach) represents fits perfectly with my style of play. I look forward to the challenges that await me in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
On Wednesday at 12 noon it will be presented to the press. This is what RB Leipzig’s sporting director Markus Krösche tells TV 2.
– My last year here has been very emotional for me. I want to thank the president for taking me in and for being a father figure to me. It was special for me during my stay, says Sørloth in the video.
Sørloth has been on loan from Crystal Palace to Turkish Trabzonspor for the past year. Trønderen has had great success in Turkey with 33 goals in the cup and series.
– I have made many friends, not only the players on the field, but also the people of the city. Therefore, I find it difficult to convey this message on video. I wish I was there to thank you, says Sørloth.
– The club welcomed me like a son, but I have dreams and I have had the goal of playing in the Bundesliga. It is one of the best leagues in the world, but I chose it with great regret. I do not exclude myself from Trabzonspor, I choose to take the next step in my career and I hope everyone understands it, continue.

Therefore, Sørloth will apparently be the replacement for Timo Werners at RB Leipzig. Werner managed to become the club’s highest-scoring player in the club’s relatively short history. Werner, who went to Chelsea earlier this summer, was a very popular figure with Leipzig fans, so in no way will Sørloth fill up little shoes.

But it has been highly sought after in Leipzig. Manager Julian Nagelsmann has been clear all summer that he loves the Norwegian national team striker, who became the top scorer in the Turkish Süper Lig with 24 goals last season.
Now she finally has her husband, but for a long time it was not known if a deal would work. Sørloth was owned by two clubs; Crystal Palace, which leased it to Trabzonspor, which had secured a call option on the 24-year-old.
VG updates the case.
