  • Forest were believed to be favourites to sign Austin, but in a last minute twist both Crystal Palace and Stoke have entered the race for the 24-year-old striker.



    The 6 foot 2 forward has scored 41 goals in 82 games for Burnley and has been linked with a move away from his current club for several months. The former Swindon striker  has been lined up as a potential striking replacement for Michael Owen at Stoke whilst Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway is scouring Europe to find a new addition to his current crop of forwards.
