Bournemouth to join race for Queens Park Rangers forward Charlie Austin?

Premier League newcomers Bournemouth are reportedly interested in Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin.

The 26-year-old frontman is already being pursued by Newcastle United and West Ham United, and now the Daily Star suggests that Eddie Howe is interested in making a move for the forward.

Howe and Austin have already spent time together at Burnley and the same report insists that the league's new boys could look to make an opening bid for the £15m-rated striker.

Austin has scored 35 goals in 66 appearances for QPR since joining in 2013.
