RB Leipzig are set to sign Crystal Palace striker Alexander Sorloth.

RBL have seen off competition from Tottenham to secure Sorloth's commitment following an outstanding season on-loan with Trabzonspor last term.

VG says Sorloth and agent Morten Wivestad were boarding a plane for Germany last night after verbally agreeing terms.

The 24 year-old will sign with RBL in a permanent deal and for a fee understood to be a record for the Bundesliga outfit.

Sorloth moves to RBL in good form, having scored twice for Norway last week in their Nations League qualifying defeat of Northern Ireland.
