Report: Chelsea lead race for Charlie Austin

Chelsea have emerged as the most likely club to sign Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin this summer, according to reports.

Odds have been slashed by bookmakers on Austin making the move to Stamford Bridge, after rumours of Chelsea's interest last week.

The striker has also been linked with moves to Liverpool, West Ham United and Southampton.

Austin signed for QPR from Burnley in 2013 and has scored 35 goals in 66 appearances.
