Sol has been on fire for Willem, scoring 15 goals in 18 appearances this season. Despite his goals, Willem sit just two points above the relegation play-off places on 16 points in 13th.

The ex-Villarreal star's contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and if Willem are to receive a cash sum for their star striker then it seems likely they will have to sell him to the highest bidder in January.
