Trabzonspor's Alexander Sorloth brushes off Real Madrid, Manchester United links

Sorloth brushes off Madrid, Man Utd links

Trabzonspor forward Alexander Sorloth has claimed that it would be "irresponsible" to talk about a transfer to a bigger club.

As a result of netting 19 goals from 23 outings in Turkey's top flight, the Crystal Palace loanee has been linked with a wide range of teams, including Real Madrid and Manchester United.

However, the Norway international has suggested that he has no interest in discussing a potential switch to the Bernabeu or Old Trafford at this stage of the campaign.

The 24-year-old is quoted by Marca as saying: "I have seen the rumours. There are always many. I've read about it and I keep getting told about teams that are interested.

"However, I am focused only on Trabzonspor. There's a great sense of team spirit here and we want to win. It would be irresponsible and inappropriate to talk about a transfer at the moment."

Sheffield United are said to be one of three other Premier League clubs who are monitoring the situation.
