Steve Parish: 'No deal for Glenn Murray'

Crystal Palace co-chairman Steve Parish has revealed that there is no deal in place for Glenn Murray to join Reading on a permanent basis in January.

The 30-year-old striker moved to the Championship club on a short-term loan deal in September.

Murray's loan agreement now has a recall option included, but he is expected to stay with the Royals until the New Year.

When asked about the loan deal, Parish told South London Press: "There's certain things in there that I wouldn't want to comment on.

"It's all up in the air - but he has definitely not signed for Reading."

Murray has scored three goals in six appearances for the Berkshire club.
