Both could now be available to face Brighton at the Amex Stadium this Saturday.
Palace will reportedly pay an initial £43m for the highly-rated Norway international with a further £5m included in the deal as add-ons.
Dwight McNeil bid accepted
Palace have also seen their £20m offer for Dwight McNeil accepted by Everton and a deal sheet has gone in to ensure that deal gets across the line in the next two hours.
