Charlie Austin
Don’t you find it strange that all of the transfer speculation surrounding Charlie Austin has died down of late?
Similarly to Danny Ings last term, Charlie Austin managed to handle the step up to the Premier League while striking an incredibly impressive 18 goals in his first season at that level despite the R’s subsequent relegation.
Austin looks a perfect kind of signing for Spurs who is the right age and has proved he can bag goals at Premier League level against an entire range of opposition.
With the league season now just days away, we certainly think Pochettino should be lumping a large fee on Austin to force QPR’s hand.
Apparently Rangers are asking for as much as £15 million for Austin’s services but with Christian Benteke having just signed for Liverpool for £32.5 million, we reckon Daniel Levy should just swallow it and pay what QPR want for their prized asset.
