Crystal Palace boss could opt for Dame N’Doye

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew could make a summer move for Hull City striker Dame N'Doye, should the club fail to lure Queens Park Rangers hitman Charlie Austin to Selhurst Park.

It is understood that the Eagles' hierarchy are unwilling to match R's asking price of £15m for Austin, and this could tempt them to look elsewhere.

The Mirror reports that Pardew may move in for Hull City star N'Doye this summer, as they look less likely to seal a deal for the former Clarets star.

N'Doye joined the Tigers last winter, as manager Steve Bruce promised him a switch to a top Premier League club, if they fail to beat the drop at the end of the campaign.
