Austin has been a revelation this season

Charlie Austin is an English footballer who plays for Southampton in the Premier League. His best attribute is to look for space where the defence is weakest and punish them with his accurate shooting.

His movement throughout the game is commendable, as he keeps working on opening up the defence. He’s scored 29 goals in 2 seasons in the Championship and has managed to score 18 goals in the Premier League (2014/2015) while playing for QPR. That’s something to note as he played alongside a very poor QPR team in the Premier League, but was very successful.

He moved to Southampton and this season, he’s already scored 6 goals and assisted once in just 10 appearances. Adding to that, he has very good aerial ability, winning 3.1 duels per game which is higher than players like Costa and Kane. With good shooting, excellent movement and commendable aerial ability, he is a very special striker who deserves a club bigger than Southampton.
