Crystal Palace striker Sorloth joins KAA Gent on loan

Crystal Palace striker Alexander Sorloth has joined Belgium club KAA Gent on loan until the end of the season.

Norway striker Sorloth signed for Palace from FC Midtjylland for £9million last January but has failed to score in 16 Premier League appearances.

The 23-year-old has netted just once in 20 outings for the Eagles.

"Everyone at the club would like to wish Alexander the very best for his time in Belgium," read a club statement.
