Everton pull out of Austin race.


Everton have reportedly opted to end their pursuit of Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin.

Austin has been prolific for the Loftus Road outfit in his debut Premier League campaign, netting 17 times and attracting interest from a number of potential suitors.

Everton along with Southampton and Newcastle have all been linked but the Liverpool Echo has claimed that the Toffees are no longer looking to lodge a formal bid.
