Crystal Palace to sign Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin?

Crystal Palace are reportedly looking to sign Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin, despite reservations over his £15m fee.

The 26-year-old, who joined the Rs from Burnley in 2013, scored 18 goals in 35 Premier League games during his side's relegation to the Championship last season.

According to the Daily Mail, the Eagles will make a move for Austin, despite rejecting a transfer earlier in the summer over the fee.

Palace manager Alan Pardew is also keen to offload Dwight Gayle for £8m, according to the report, despite the striker featuring against Aston Villa on Saturday.

Austin has scored four goals in the Championship so far this season.
