According to reports from The Mirror, Southampton have omitted Charlie Austin and Mario Lemina from their pre-season training camp.
The 30-year-old vastly experienced striker is wanted by Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Championship outfit West Brom.
Austin could leave the club this summer, and Leeds United should join West Brom in the race to sign him.
He scored two goals and provided two assists last season in 11 Premier League starts.
Austin has a wealth of Championship and Premier League experience and would be a superb addition for Leeds.
