Bournemouth and Leicester City are allegedly interested in bidding for Southampton striker Charlie Austin at the end of the season.

According to The Mirror, Austin will be a player in demand if the Saints fail to avoid relegation this season, with Mark Hughes's side two points adrift of safety in the table.

The newspaper adds that Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe could target Austin as a replacement for either Joshua King or Callum Wilson, who could both be on their way out of the Vitality Stadium.

Leicester boss Claude Puel, who worked with the Englishman while in charge of Southampton last term, is an admirer of his abilities up front.

Austin is Southampton's top scorer this season, despite being out of the team since December with a hamstring injury.
