Palace admire QPR star Austin but could be out of reach

CRYSTAL Palace co-chairman Steve Parish has admitted that QPR striker Charlie Austin is a player that is an attraction. But the Eagles chief also admitted that the England international - set to leave QPR following their relegation from the Premier League - has a pack of clubs after him. Speaking to talkSPORT, Parish said: "Charlie is definitely a player we admire but lots of clubs are interested in him. "There is probably a good chance he would go beyond us." Parish would not discuss the transfer link to Swansea defender Ashley Williams. The Welsh international has been mentioned as a target for the South Londoners all summer. But Parish said: "Ashley is a Swansea player now. I can't see that happening."
