Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace targetman Alan Lee admits he'd like to make his loan move to Norwich full time.

Lee was sent out to the Canaries last month on loan until the end of the season and has helped his new side to a win and draw in his two outings.

The 30-year-old only joined Palace in August from Norwich's bitter rivals Ipswich for £600,000 but has reportedly failed to settle in London.

With a goal return of three from 18 appearances, Lee has struggled to make an impact for the Eagles and the Irishman would be up for a move away.

"Yes I'd like to, I've told the manager that," he said. "It's something that I'd really like to do. I'm very happy how I've settled in. I think it's a great club, I love the lads and that would be nice for me."

Norwich are fourth from bottom in the Championship and any transfer could be scuppered should they go down - but is Lee worried about that?

He said: "No not from my point of view but perhaps does more so from the club's point of view. I don't know and that's a bit down the line anyway but it's something I would like.

"I love living in East Anglia, it's been just a breath of fresh air me coming back home so it would be great for me."
