RUMOUR: Glenn Murray targeted by the Premier League’s newest teams

Crystal Palace striker Glenn Murray is being targeted by newly-promoted Premier League sides Bournemouth and Norwich City, according to Adrian Kajumba of the Mirror.

After spending the first half of the season on loan at Reading, Murray returned to Selhurst Park and blossomed under Alan Pardew’s tutelage.

He scored seven goals in 17 league appearances and contributed to The Eagles’ 10th place finish.

Palace are reportedly in the market searching for a new forward and names such as Loic Remy and Charlie Austin have been tipped for a move.

This has alerted Bournemouth and Norwich, who are both primed to make a move for the 31-year-old.

The Englishman joined Palace on a free transfer after rejecting a contract extension at Brighton and Hove Albion in 2011.

He went on to establish himself as a key member of the team as he finished as top scorer in the 2012/13 season and heavily contributed to Palace’s promotion to the Premier League.
