Alexander Sørloth

Analysis: Sorloth is heading to America for the World Cup as he joins Norway, set to start for the dark horse contenders. He will not start in his natural center-forward spot due to teammate Erling Haaland, instead likely to be used on the right or as a secondary forward, helping out in more hold-up play. That said, his effectiveness could take a bit of a hit, but with all the attention on Haaland, Sorloth could see some open opportunities if Norway can play around that issue. He earned a solid 19 goals and one assist in 49 appearances (25 starts) between UCL and league play, showing he does have some quality around the net if given his chances.
