One of the most talked about signings in the Atlético de Madrid transfer market was the incorporation of Alexander Sorloth from Villarreal , where he had a season to remember. The Norwegian was second in the LaLiga scoring charts and landed at Atlético with the hope and desire to be someone important for his new club. Establishing himself in Simeone 's schemes from the start, Sorloth has also given a good example of his quality in this international break for international teams.

For the Argentine coach, having a player of these characteristics is a blessing, and he plans to exploit his qualities to the maximum.
