Sorloth has never scored 18 goals before at a single club. His previous record was 15 goals and nine assists in 26 games for Midtjylland.

In the Super Lig Sorloth has 15 goals and four assists in 18 games.

The powerful striker will become the highest goal scorer in Trabzonspor history if he finds the back of the net 11 more times this season.

Sorloth joined Trabzonspor on a two-year loan move from Palace over the summer and is expected to stay on at the Black Sea based outfit next term.
