The previous record was held by club legend Sota Arveladze.

Sorloth has 21 goals in the league making him the current Super Lig goal king.

Additionally, he also has 10 assists in all competitions this term.

The Crystal Palace loanee has scored against all three big Istanbul sides, Galatasaray, Besiktas and Fenerbahce as well as fellow title challengers Basaksehir this season.

The powerful striker has scored nine times in eight matches against the big three.

Trabzonspor have also booked a place in the Turkish Cup final.

Sorloth is on loan at Trabzonspor but Palace will be unable to recall the Norway international this summer as he is on a two-year temporary deal.

The Black Sea based side also have an option to buy the star striker for just €6m which remains active until the end of next season.
