Crystal Palace eye Queens Park Rangers' Charlie Austin?

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has made Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin his number one transfer target, according to reports.

The 25-year-old has scored 15 goals for the Hoops this season, despite Chris Ramsey's side having lost 20 of their 30 Premier League games.

The striker's fine form has caught the eye of Pardew, who is weighing up a summer bid for the striker, reports The Mirror.

Austin was playing non-League football as recently as 2009, before he made the move to Swindon Town, where he scored 30 goals in a two-year spell.
