Aston Villa have their sights set on QPR striker Charlie Austin and Bournemouth's Callum Wilsom to fill the void left by Christian Benteke.

Villa are understood to have accepted Liverpool's £32.5million bid for Benteke, with the Belgian international only needing to pass a medical to make the deal complete.

The Daily Mirror is reporting that Villa boss Tim Sherwood has identified Austin, who has also received interest from Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Leicester City, as the ideal replacement for Benteke.

Austin is understood to have a £15million release clause in his QPR contract.

Meanwhile, the Daily Express is reporting that Wilson, who guided Bournemouth to promotion with 20 goals in the Championship last season, is also on Villa's radar.

The 23-year-old reportedly has a £7million release clause in his contract.
