Crystal Palace not in Charlie Austin race

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has admitted that the club are unlikely to sign wanted striker Charlie Austin this summer.

Austin is expected to seek fresh pastures away from Queens Park Rangers following their relegation from the Premier League last season.

The 25-year-old has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs in recent weeks, following an 18-goal season with R's.

However, Parish has revealed that the Eagles are not in the running for the former Clarets star, as he expects the player to join a much bigger Premier League side.
