Palace has been in the market for a forward this winter, and the Eagles finally got their man on deadline day.

It has taken a reported £43m plus £5m in add-ons to sign Strand Larsen, who has agreed a four-and-a-half-year deal at Palace.

The Norway international, who scored 14 Premier League goals for Wolves last season but has netted only once this term, was set to replace want-away striker Jean-Philippe Mateta.

It seemed as though Mateta would be heading to AC Milan, but his move fell through due to a failed medical.

Palace still went ahead with pushing the deal for Strand Larsen over the line, and Oliver Glasner will hope the 25 year-old provides the firepower required to steer his team up the table.

The Eagles sit 15th, though they are nine points clear of the bottom three after Sunday's draw with Nottingham Forest.

Palace is also aiming to push through a late deal for Everton winger Dwight McNeil.

Strand Larsen could make his Palace debut next weekend when it takes on rival Brighton, which confirmed the return of midfielder Matt O'Riley from his loan spell at Marseille.
