(Reuters) -Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone on Friday heaped praise on Alexander Sorloth, highlighting the Norwegian striker's ability to change the game from the bench ahead of a LaLiga meeting with Las Palmas.

Sorloth, signed from Villarreal for a reported fee of 32 million euros ($36.41 million) in August, has been behind the pairing of Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann for much of the season.
