Lee agreed a three-year deal with Crystal Palace in August

Norwich City have completed the signing of Crystal Palace striker Alan Lee on loan until the end of the season.

The 30-year-old is set to feature for the Canaries against Birmingham City at the weekend.

The Republic of Ireland international joined the Selhurst Park club at the start of the season from Ipswich Town for an undisclosed fee.

Lee told BBC Radio Norfolk: "If I score against Ipswich, I would have no problem celebrating the goal."

"Things were not working out particularly well at Crystal Palace so it was good to get the opportunity to come back to a big club.

"There were a couple of other good Championship clubs that I could have gone to but I felt I could come here and make a difference."

He has scored six goals in 12 league games this season for Neil Warnock's side.

Lee has previously scored against Norwich City at Carrow Road when playing for Ipswich Town in November 2007.
