Norwich City give up on Charlie Austin

Norwich City are no longer in the race to sign Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin, according to reports.

The Canaries were thought to be planning a summer bid for the 26-year-old striker, who was in top form for the R's in the Premier League last term.

However, The Mirror claims that the Premier League newcomers have decided against a move for Austin, with the R's unwilling to come down from their £15 asking price for the talented marksman.

Austin scored 18 league goals for his club last season, but this wasn't enough to prevent them from beating the drop in the first coming.
