QPR have been listed as favourites to sign favourite Charlie Austin from Southampton, according to Sky Bet.

The 28-year-old has been limited to a number of cameo appearances for the Saints, leading to him being linked with a move away from the club in the January transfer window.

The odds on Sky Bet are interesting, with the Hoops being named as 8/1 favourites to snap up the striker should he leave the south coast club.

However if the striker was to leave the Saints you'd think that the natural goal-scorer would be inundated with offers from the Premier League, meaning a move to the Championship is unlikely.

After the Hoops, the bookies have selected are Burnley (12/1), Crystal Palace (16/1) and Bournemouth (20/1) as the most likely destinations for Austin, although he is listed as 1/3 to remain at St Marys Stadium, with that currently seeming the most likely outcome.
