The transfer deadline window has closed for the rest of the season so the media needs to fill precious column inches so it was only a matter of time before Charlie Austin would be linked to a bigger club.
Step forward Newcastle United – Sky Sports have reported that Toon assistant manager and Swindon Town legend Colin Calderwood went on a scouting mission to Hartlepool to see Town’s find of the season in the action.
Sky Sports added Premiership sides Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham to the list of interested parties.
Charlie Austin signed a 2 and a half year contract extension earlier in the year.

Bound to happen – I think Charlie has done exceptionally well and deserves credit – but – its still early days in his professional career IMO
Absolutely, I cannot see him cracking the Top Flight just yet. Saying that, people said that Poole Town to Swindon Town would be too big a step to make a quick impact!
he would be wise to stay at town for another season at least, anyway we’ll be in the championship next season. if he moves to a premiership club he’ll just end up on the bench like coxy
