Three-Way battle for Charlie Austin

18 June 2015 - 06:20

Chelsea, Newcastle United and West Ham United will fight it out for the services of Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin this summer.

  • Chelsea planning move for marquee centre-back
  • Juventus exploring deal for Chelsea striker


  • Austin is expected to leave the R's in the summer, as he seeks a return to Premier League football next season.

    The Magpies have been constantly linked with the talented marksman, but London clubs Chelsea and West Ham United are also in the reckoning for the player's services.

    It is also understood that the former Clarets man could opt against a switch to the Blues, as they are less likely to offer him a regular starting role in comparison to the Magpies and Hammers.

    Austin, who is currently rated at £15m, scored 18 league goals for the R's last season.
