Championship leaders Bournemouth are reportedly interested in signing Crystal Palace striker Glenn Murray on loan.

The 31-year-old, who hit 30 goals in the second tier for Palace as they won promotion via the playoffs in 2012-13, has fallen out of favour at Selhurst Park over the past two campaigns.

Murray was loaned out to Reading earlier this season, where he scored eight goals in 18 appearances.

The former Brighton & Hove Albion frontman has been handed more opportunities to play for Palace since Alan Pardew took charge of the club in January.

However, with Dwight Gayle, Fraizer Campbell, Yaya Sanogo and Marouane Chamakh ahead of him in the pecking order, a move away from South London is thought to be possible.

According to the Daily Mail, the Cherries want to add Murray to their ranks as they push for promotion to the Premier League.

Murray has made nine appearances for Palace this term.
