Report: Aston Villa could be a possible destination for Southampton striker Charlie Austin

According to reports from The Sun, Aston Villa could be a ‘possible destination’ for Southampton forward Charlie Austin this summer.

The 29-year-old joined the Saints in 2016 for a reported fee of £4 million and made over 75 appearances in all competitions, scoring 20 goals.

He has a great scoring record for Burnley and Queens Park Rangers, but somehow Southampton never saw the best of him. He has a wealth of Championship and Premier League experience and Aston Villa could be interested in signing him.

Ralph Hasenhuttl is expected to embark on an overhaul of the Saints squad, and players like Wesley Hoedt, Guido Carrillo, Sofiane Boufal and Jordy Clasie could be sold.
