Report: Crystal Palace and Cardiff City join Charlie Austin chase
Thursday 21st January 2019
Southampton are willing to sell Charlie Austin this month with Premier League duo Crystal Palace and Cardiff City interested.

Cardiff City and Crystal Palace have joined an ever-increasing list of clubs keen to sign Southampton striker Charlie Austin, according to the Sun.
The 29-year-old has struggled for minutes since Ralph Hasenhuttl arrived at St Mary’s in December and it is understood that The Saints are willing to sell him this month should an acceptable offer arrive.
The Telegraph claimed last week that Midland duo Aston Villa and Wolves were interested while the Mail has reported that Leicester City are also in the chase.
But they are expected to face competition from Cardiff and Palace with The Sun reporting that they are interested in Austin before January’s transfer deadline.
A £4 million signing from QPR three years ago, Austin has scored just twice in 16 league appearances this season but he has an impressive track record in the top flight.

The former Burnley forward showed during a stellar 2014/15 season at QPR that he can thrive in a struggling side, scoring 18 goals despite Rangers’ relegation. So that perhaps explains why Cardiff and Crystal Palace are ready to take a punt on him.
The Sun adds that Austin wants to stay in the Premier League, which surely puts pay to Aston Villa’s hopes, while Southampton are only looking to sell rather than send him out on loan.

This could be a good signing. What i like about this one is if the worse happens and we do go down austin would be a great striker to have as our main man to fire us the goals to get back up from the championship. Did he play under warnock at qpr? Whats his injury record like?
