6 Reasons Why Newcastle Must Sign Aleksandar Mitrovic Rather Than Charlie Austin

4. He Doesn't Have Knee And Shoulder Problems

In 2013 Hull City pulled out of a move for Austin after the Burnley striker failed a medical. WhatCultureSport believe that there were concerns over his knee which Austin then mocked - by holding his so-called dodgy leg - after scoring against the Tigers in a 2-1 defeat. No details of the medical were revealed but Austin does have a history of shoulder problems. According to transfermarkt.co.uk, Mitrovic does not hold any injury history.
