Bournemouth still chasing Crystal Palace's Glenn Murray
Tuesday 18 August 2015 11:08, UK
Bournemouth will only be able to sign Crystal Palace striker Glenn Murray on a permanent deal, Sky sources understand.
The Cherries have held talks with Palace over a deal to take the 31-year-old to the south coast club, who have started their maiden Premier League campaign with successive 1-0 defeats.
There were reports a loan deal had been on the table but it is believed the only way Bournemouth will be able to recruit Murray is on a permanent basis.
Bournemouth bid for Murray on the eve of the Premier League season, but the offer was rejected by Palace.
Murray was an impact player for the Eagles last season after returning from a loan spell at Reading, and netted seven times in just 17 Premier League appearances.
