Spanish football pundits and fans are currently contemplating whether to include Villarreal's talented Norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth in their LaLiga team of the year. Real Sociedad's director of football and president had the first option to sign Sørloth last summer but hesitated, allowing Villarreal to secure the player for a mere €10 million.
Sørloth's impact at Villarreal has been significant, with 19 goals and six assists by matchday 36, making him one of the top performers in LaLiga. In contrast, Real Sociedad's decision to pass on Sørloth in favor of other forwards has backfired, with their top scorers managing only a total of six goal contributions.
