Newcastle United are still interested in Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin, according to The Daily Mail.
This contrasts with reports earlier this month that the Magpies have ended their chase for the 18-goal hitman, however, but it is known that Steve McClaren would love to be reunited with a forward he worked closely with at Loftus Road.
Austin has already netted twice in the Championship for Qpr in 2015-16 but he has made it clear that he wants to play in the Barclays Premier League again this season, should a club make a move for him.

That move seems unlikely to be to West Ham United following Austin’s public spat with the east London club’s owner, but The Daily Mail claim Newcastle, Bournemouth, Leicester City and, most particularly, Crystal Palace want the 26-year-old.

Newcastle United have brought one of the summer’s longest-running transfer sagas to a close by “ending their interest” in Charlie Austin, according to The Chronicle.
The publication claims that Queens Park Rangers’ valuation of Austin at £15 million was simply deemed as too steep by the Magpies’ board, although it is noted that if the west London club lower their asking price then Newcastle could swoop once more.
However, it is made clear that head coach Steve McClaren and his backroom-staff member Steve Black – both of who worked with Austin at Loftus Road – wanted to recruit the forward, who netted 18 Barclays Premier League goals last season.

Queens Park Rangers boss Chris Ramsey has effectively baited Newcastle United and other potential suitors to make a “firm offer” in their pursuit of Charlie Austin.
The striker’s future has been the source of continued speculation this summer, but as of yet Austin – who scored 18 goals in the Barclays Premier League last season – has remained in west London due to the fact nobody has met their £15 million valuation.
Austin started Qpr’s 2-0 opening-day defeat to Charlton Athletic but that could potentially be his final game for the club, with Newcastle tipped as a potential destination.

Sir Bobby Robson “put his head on the block” by playing Jermaine Jenas regularly as a teenager at Newcastle United, the former Magpies midfielder believes.
Jenas turned down moves to Manchester United and Leeds United in order to head to Tyneside from Nottingham Forest for £5 million in February 2002 at the age of just 18.
Within a fortnight of arriving in the North East, then-Toon boss Robson handed Jenas a start against Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear derby and continued to play the teenager, something the ex-midfielder believes helped him earn international recognition by the age of 19.
Mike Egerton/Empics Sport
In his column for Yahoo Sport, Jenas compared his situation at Newcastle back in 2002 with that of 16-year-old West Ham United defensive-midfielder Reece Oxford, who was given his Barclays Premier League debut by Slaven Bilic against Arsenal last weekend.

Newcastle United target Charlie Austin “will be moving on” from Queens Park Rangers this summer “if the owners get the right money”, admits Chris Ramsey.
The west London club’s boss believes Austin would be a “big loss” to any side, but knows that if one of the several Barclays Premier League clubs chasing him meets Qpr’s £15 million asking price then he will leave Loftus Road.
Austin started Qpr’s 2-0 opening-day defeat to Charlton Athletic but that could potentially be his final game for the club.

And, speaking after the game to TalkSport, Ramsey said of Austin:
“He would be a big loss for any club in any division.
“He’s going to be a massive gain for anybody that has the money to buy him. If the owners get the right money, I think he will be moving on.

West Ham United have “moved ahead” of Newcastle United in the race to sign Charlie Austin from Queens Park Rangers this summer, according to reports.
The Brentwood Gazette claims that the Hammers are desperate to recruit the forward after losing Enner Valencia to a three-month injury layoff, with former Magpie Andy Carroll also already facing a significant portion of the season out at Upton Park.
In fact, it is suggested that Slaven Bilic is willing to offer both cash and Matt Jarvis in part-exchange for Austin.
Scott Heppell/AP
Last week, Steve McClaren denied that Newcastle had been in “contact” with Qpr over Austin’s availability, despite various reports having linked the Magpies with a move.
Last month, The Daily Mail suggested that Haris Vuckic had been offered as a makeweight in a deal to sign Austin, with the Magpies unwilling to meet Qpr’s £15 million asking price.

The Brentwood Gazette claims that the Hammers are desperate to recruit the forward after losing Enner Valencia to a three-month injury layoff, with former Magpie Andy Carroll also already facing a significant portion of the season out at Upton Park.
In fact, it is suggested that Slaven Bilic is willing to offer both cash and Matt Jarvis in part-exchange for Austin.

Last week, Steve McClaren denied that Newcastle had been in “contact” with Qpr over Austin’s availability, despite various reports having linked the Magpies with a move.

Newcastle United legend Rob Lee has warned the Magpies that it would be a “big blow” if they missed out on Charlie Austin this summer – a player he believes would be a “great signing for the club”.
The Magpies are among a host of Premier League sides chasing the 26-year-old’s signature this summer but it is believed that they are unwilling to meet Queens Park Rangers’ £15 million asking price.
Yet Lee thinks the Magpies “must get” the 18-goal hitman if they are to really move forward during this window.

Speaking to Kicca, Lee – who netted 56 times in 379 appearances for the Magpies between 1992 and 2002 – said:

Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey has admitted that Newcastle United target Charlie Austin will “probably go” this summer.
Steve McClaren has denied that the Magpies have been in “contact” with Qpr over the striker, despite various reports having linked the Magpies with a move.
Last week The Daily Mail suggested that Haris Vuckic had been offered as a makeweight to sign Austin, with the Magpies unwilling to meet Qpr’s £15 million asking price.

When asked about whether or not Austin and his other Qpr players would still be at Loftus Road come the end of the transfer window on Monday, Ramsey said (The Independent):
“We know it’s a financial situation where the players, given the right offer, will probably go.
“Selfishly, I hope nobody comes in for them. Whoever’s in the building and can help needs to be on hand.

Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey has confirmed that the west London club have rejected more than one offer for Newcastle United target Charlie Austin during this transfer window – and that the striker himself has also rebuffed some of them.
Leicester City are known to have had a £12 million offer rebuffed earlier in the summer, but it is unclear who the second bid came from – with the likes of Aston Villa, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Afc Bournemouth and the Magpies also interested in the forward.
The 26-year-old netted 18 Premier League goals last season and is one of the most sought-after strikers in England, plus he is entering the final year of his Qpr contract.

And his current manager at Qpr has revealed that the club have rejected more than one bid already been rejected for the former Swindon Town and Burnley hitman this off-season.

WhatCulture.com/Nufc understands Newcastle United have told Queens Park Rangers that they won’t offer more than £13 million for Charlie Austin. However, The Magpies are willing to allow a couple of their fringe players to head to Loftus Road as part of any deal.
United aren’t willing to pay the 26-year-old’s full asking price of £15 million because they still have their reservations about the much publicised shoulder and knee problems which saw him fail a medical at Hull City in 2013.
In order to entice The Hoops into allowing their striker – who wants to leave for a Premier League side – to move to the North East, Newcastle have told the Championship side they can have one of a list of fringe players including the likes of Haris Vuckic and Gael Bigirimana.
Steve McClaren and the rest of United’s new football board are now waiting for Rangers’ reply.

Newcastle United look set to be thwarted in their bid to tempt Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin to St James’ Park – with the forward reluctant to move away from London this summer.
Sources close to the 25-year-old claim he is settled in the capital and, although he is tempted by the opportunity to wear Newcastle’s famous No 9 shirt, West Ham United remains a far-more likely destination.
Qpr want £15 million for the 6 ft 2in forward, a price the Magpies are currently unwilling to meet, and clubs such as Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur retain an interest in Austin.

On May 24th 2015 West Ham United announced that they would not be renewing the contract of their manager, Sam Allardyce.
Allardyce himself has stated he felt it was probably the right time for him to go – for both him and the club.
He had four fairly successful seasons at Upton Park, guiding them to promotion from the Championship in his first season and securing strong mid-table finishes in the next three, finishing 10th, 13th and 12th respectively. However, his time at the club has been plagued by criticism over his style of football, with suggestions that the owners, David Gold and David Sullivan, wanted the team to play in a more entertaining, attacking style.

Newcastle United have been handed a double boost ahead of their trip to Loftus Road this weekend – with Papiss Cisse and Rolando Aarons both passed fit to play.
Cisse has an outside chance of starting the pivotal Premier League match against Queens Park Rangers while Aarons is almost certain to feature off the bench after interim head coach John Carver declared them both available.
Aarons has been out since November due to a succession of hamstring complaints, while 11-goal Cisse featured for 22 minutes off the bench during the 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion last weekend having returned from a seven-game suspension and a knee operation.

Newcastle United’s woes continue to mount after interim head coach John Carver revealed that Siem de Jong has had a thigh scan ahead of the West Bromwich Albion clash.
Carver’s beleaguered side have lost eight consecutive Premier League matches for the first time in the club’s history and they sit just two points and three places above the relegation zone heading into the crunch game with the Baggies.
De Jong was expected to be elevated into the starting line-up for the visit of Tony Pulis’ men after the 26-year-old came on for the final 33 minutes of the 3-0 defeat at Leicester City, but Carver has revealed that the attacking-midfielder is a doubt.

Newcastle United youngster Adam Campbell’s contract expires at the end of the season and it appears as if he is already preparing for life away from Tyneside after he lined up for West Bromwich Albion Under-21s in a friendly match.
Campbell, who scored an impressive four goals in five appearances while on loan at Gateshead earlier this campaign, played a trial match for the Baggies as he ran out for their 3-0 victory over Arsenal U-21s.
The 20-year-old provided an assist for strike partner Adil Nabi and seemed to play a decent role for West Brom as he stayed on the field for 60 minutes – heightening speculation that he could make a permanent move to the Midlands.

There is one Newcastle United player who has scored five goals in his last seven games and nine since February – but unfortunately for Magpies supporters Haris Vuckic is currently wearing the blue of Rangers and not the famous black-and-white stripes.
While Vuckic is likely to be involved in the Scottish Championship play-offs and possibly promotion with Rangers, his parent club have picked up five points since he left and the Magpies face a relegation scrap. This may leave many Newcastle fans wondering why, when the Magpies have such a threadbare squad, the 22-year-old Slovenian international was allowed to leave for Glasgow.
Sent out on loan on deadline day to the Scottish club – in theory alongside four other players – Vuckic was expected to gain some much-needed first-team experience north of the border, but he has gone above and beyond expectations. Nine goals in 13 matches from attacking-midfield, even in the Scottish Championship,...

The summer transfer window is always exciting – or at least extremely eventful – for fans of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Last summer epitomised that notion, as Gareth Bale left for Real Madrid in a world record transfer deal of around £85 million and was “replaced” by an influx of no less than seven new players.
This summer, it’s all been quiet on the transfer front, with no new players incoming as of yet. A few players have left the club, however, with Jake Livermore joining Hull City permanently, after having been on loan at the Kc Stadium last season, for around £7 million and Heurelho Gomes leaving for free to sign for Watford. A number of youngsters have also been released.
That said, there have been wholesale changes on the coaching staff, with Mauricio Pochettino replacing Tim Sherwood, having joined from Southampton, and bringing his supporting staff with him.

Despite winning the Premier League with Manchester City this season, James Milner has this weekend revealed a desire to leave the Etihad this summer.

We’re into the business end of the Premier League season as there is only ten games to go (for most teams) until we turn our attentions towards the World Cup in Brazil. Unlike previous years, the title race has been gripping and wide open.
Chelsea currently lead the way and Jose Mourinho’s men are four points clear at the top of the table after Arsenal’s shock defeat to Stoke City at the weekend. Now, it’s down to them to hold onto their position.
Arsenal may be on the decline but it’s not advised to write them off just yet. Liverpool are the surprise package this season and have rocketed up the league, now widely being tipped to win their first ever Premier League title, while Manchester City are also still in the running.
Many are doubting whether the team from West...

There is no doubt that West Ham have had a mixed season, but this is their second year back in the Premier League and things were always going to be tough. West Ham are currently on more of an up than a down, and they find themselves 11th in the league with a safety net of four point above the relegation zone.
It’s not too difficult to see the angle for this slideshow as it’s basically just suggesting that there is every evidence to suggest that they can continue their progress and survive in the league. As always, the focus here is on strong opinions and stats sourced from Who Scored.
I have mentioned in previous articles that this predictive affairs are always a tough ask, especially this season when the league is so tight at the top at the bottom.

It was a frustrating evening for Chelsea as they struggled to breakdown and claim their sixth victory of 2014. On a cold and rainy night at Stamford Bridge, the Hammers dug deep to thwart Jose Mourinho’s title chasing side.
With over 70% possession and 30 shots on goals, the Blues will be aggrieved that they did not take all three points from the London derby. Countless times shots were blocked by valiant West Ham defenders, desperate to fight for what is a valuable point.
Speaking after the match Mourinho admitted that he was not angry with his team, understanding that it was difficult for them to find a way through West Ham’s deep defensive line. Even though the fans may not have been, the Chelsea manager was upbeat after the final whistle.
For Sam Allardyce, the result is a huge boost for his team’s cause.

James Tomkins and James Collins put in heroic defensive performances as West Ham picked up a priceless point away from home.
The Hammers’ defence produced a stubborn display to deny Jose Mourinho’s side their sixth straight win of 2014.
The match started at a frantic pace, Oscar testing Adrian after just 8 minutes with a curled effort from the edge of the box which the Spaniard tipped onto the bar.
Minutes later and West Ham had their first opportunity, Tomkins’ header drawing a good save from Petr Cech after Stewart Downing had whipped in a free-kick.
A fast-paced opening quarter of an hour was rounded off when Samuel Eto’o blazed over from the edge of the box, after Eden Hazard had headed down Branislav Ivanovic’s through-ball.
Following the 15 minute mark, the pace of the derby encounter began to slow with Chelsea dominating...

West Ham’s promising England U21 midfielder Ravel Morrison has told West Ham United he wants to join Fulham in January.
Goal.com reports that the highly-rated 20-year-old has been the subject of a £5 million bid plus add-ons from the Cottagers, and Morrison is believed to be keen on a move, which would see an increase on his £15,000 a week salary, and a chance to re-unite with Rene Meulensteen, who worked with him in the youth set-up at Manchester United.
Morrison’s contract has an £18 million release clause, but West Ham will have to quadruple his salary to £60,000 if he is the subject of a £10 million bid, and they are believed to want to cash in on the youngster to fund new signings as they chase Premier League survival. The Hammers currently lie in 19th place in the league table with only 15 points from 20 games,...

Djamal Abdoun’s penalty, a second half Jamie Paterson hat-trick and an Andy Reid strike saw Championship promotion contenders Nottingham Forest slaughter a youthful West Ham team in the Fa Cup third round.
Reds boss Billy Davies made two changes from the draw at Reading on New Year’s Day. Nathaniel Chalobah was ineligible to play and Jamie Mackie dropped to the bench as Abdoun and Guy Moussi returned to the XI.
Hammers manager Sam Allardyce named a team with just two survivors from the defeat at Fulham last time out. Alou Diarra and Modibo Maiga kept their places whilst five academy graduates started. Adrian was in goal with Stewart Downing and Matt Jarvis operating as wingbacks. Ravel Morrison played despite a niggling groin problem.
Forest were gifted an early lead when George Moncur tripped Paterson in the box on 11 minutes after some fancy footwork.
