QPR and Tottenham fans on Twitter and have been reacting to speculation that the striker could be on his way to White Hart Lane.
Spurs have not shown an interest in the Rangers striker but are one of several clubs to have been linked with him.
Newcastle have been tipped to buy Austin, with a host of reports claiming the Magpies and other clubs are battling to sign him, but so far only Leicester have made an approach this summer.
And now it has been claimed that Tottenham are willing to meet the £15m asking price for the 26-year-old. Some Spurs fans were unimpressed….
However others saw the potential in Austin, who scored 18 goals in the Premier League last season:
QPR supporters, meanwhile, had their say on the speculation and the Spurs’ fans views…

Proven goalscorer kane and austin would combine well I think. 18 goals in a team that finished bottom and he missed 2 penaties could have had 20 hit post twice. Soldado couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo
Spurs fans not wanting Charlie tut tut !!!!!! Sign him and you might not be North London reserves any more lol
Austin and Kane ... Sutton and Shearer, as good as England's had in years. Technically Austin's far from a complete premier league footballer, but you can't doubt the attributes he has, and one of those is finishing and an eye for goal. His movement improved hugely against better defenders and with Zamora as a tutor, and we (QPR) were a disgrace of a team last season. Can't see him staying with us, so good luck at any top ten prem side basically. Tottenham should land in that top ten bracket again.
Spurs big club? Really
How can people say they don't want Austin, yet want Berahino in the next sentence... I'd take Austin over Berahino all day long. We need a proven goalscorer, which is what he is? I'm sure 99% would have chosen Soldado over him if asked a couple of seasons ago.. Let's be realistic for a change
I for one would be very happy if spurs can sign austin bcos he is epl proven,far better than ade and soldado combine and he's an upgrade on njie whom posh is eager to bring in whom i believe will not do well in epl.
At least he is better than what we have with the exception of harry, buy him ,and give him a chance to prove himself with a bigger club
Austin would be a great signing. Proven player in the EPL... Proven scorer and English... Stop wasting money on guys who we dont even know if the can hack the league...
okay fellow spurs perhaps if we called him by a more exotic name such as carlos austin , does it do it for you.
this is spurs we are talking we get linked with the best but never ever get. charley is the best they could expect and I personally think he would be a good fit.
