Report: Aston Villa and Crystal Palace want Charlie Austin

Aston Villa have been very busy in the summer transfer window having signed five players already.

One of the areas where Villa boss Dean Smith should be looking to bolster is the forward department.

According to reports from The Sun, Villa and Crystal Palace are interested in signing Southampton forward Charlie Austin, while Championship outfit West Brom are also keen.

The 29-year-old former Burnley player, who is on £70k-per-week wages at Southampton, will be allowed to leave St Mary’s this summer as Ralph Hasenhuttl all set to sculpt the squad according to his own taste.
