It looks like Robbie Brady's return to the Premier League is imminent, but he will not necessarily be joining up with his buddy Jeff Hendrick.
The Republic of Ireland star was widely expected to move from Norwich to Burnley but Sam Allardyce has followed through on his interest in the versatile left-sided Dubliner - the Guardian's Dominic Fifield reporting that Crystal Palace have had a £9million bid accepted by the Canaries.

Patrick van Aanholt had been on the Eagles' radar but it seems that interest has now cooled and the Londoners, currently occupying the third relegation spot in the Premier League, are poised to sign the Euro 2016 hero.
The deal could rise to £12m with add-ons and appearance clauses but the fear for Ireland fans is that the 25-year-old could wind up back in the Championship next season.
Allardyce's impact at Selhurst Park has been disappointing thus far since replacing Alan Pardew and Palace have slid into the relegation zone as the former England manager still awaits his first Premier League win.
Is Brady the man to help turn things around?
