FC Midtjylland striker Alexander Sorloth is currently on his way to London to sign for Crystal Palace, with the Premier League side set to pay around £9m for his signature.

The Eagles have been tracking the Norway international, who has been in prolific form in the present campaign, in the winter window.




Besides finding the back of the net 15 times, Sorloth has also registered nine assists in 26 appearances in all competitions this season.

Midtjylland initially rejected a bid from Crystal Palace for Sorloth, but it seems the Danish club have accepted a new and improved offer from the Premier League outfit, as according to Norwegian daily Adresseavisen, the 22-year-old is currently en-route to London to seal his move to Selhurst Park.
 


Sorloth, who joined Midtyjlland only last summer from FC Groningen, has 12 caps and a goal for Norway to his name.

Crystal Palace have been on the lookout for a striker, with Christian Benteke managing just two league goals this season; the Belgian was on target in the 1-1 draw with West Ham United on Tuesday evening.

It remains to be seen if Sorloth makes his Crystal Palace debut against Newcastle United on Sunday.
