Tottenham are considering tabling a bid for QPR striker Charlie Austin.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has identified the 26-year-old as a front man who can take some of the goal-scoring burden off young starlet Harry Kane.

West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino is reportedly Tottenham's first choice, but they have baulked at the West Midland's club's £25million asking price

QPR's valuation of Austin is £15million, which is understood to be more within Spurs' budget.
