Alexander Sørloth

Alexander Sørloth is a Norwegian footballer who became a top scorer in the Turkish Süper Lig and Spanish La Liga, following in the footsteps of his footballer father Gøran Sørloth.

Alexander Sørloth scored the fastest hat-trick in La Liga history — three goals in eleven minutes against Real Sociedad in May 2025 — capping a rise from mid-table Turkish football to one of Spanish football's most productive forwards, and finished as La Liga's top scorer across the 2024 calendar year. He joined the youth academy of his boyhood club Rosenborg at age seven, and after a loan spell at Bodø/Glimt, embarked on a peripatetic European career spanning the Netherlands, Denmark, England, Germany, and Turkey. Sørloth's breakthrough came at Trabzonspor in Turkey, where in the 2019-20 season he became the club's top-scoring foreign player in a single season with 29 goals, surpassing the previous record held by Shota Arveladze. That form earned him a move to RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, before he settled in Spain, playing for Real Sociedad, Villarreal, and Atlético Madrid. Standing 6-foot-5, Sørloth combines aerial power with a strong left foot, and at Atlético Madrid he became one of La Liga's most productive forwards, finishing as the league's top scorer across the 2024 calendar year and, in May 2025, scoring the fastest hat-trick in La Liga history, in just 11 minutes against Real Sociedad. Internationally, he has been a mainstay of Norway's attack alongside Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard as part of the country's modern golden generation.
