RB Leipzig move for Crystal Palace striker Alexander Sorloth

Crystal Palace striker Alexander Sorloth is on his way to the Bundesliga.

TV2 says Sorloth is set to join Champions League semi-finalists Red Bull Leipzig.

The forward has been on loan at Trabszonspor for the last season and still has another year to run on the deal.

But Sorloth is now said to be in advanced talks with Leipzig over a switch after his 24 goals convinced the German club he could replace Timo Werner.

Trabzonspor are expected to buy Sorloth for his £5m option before selling him onto RBL.
