Age: 25 Club: Queens Park Rangers Nationality: English Estimated market value: £8million-£10million League apps (2014-15): 24 League goals (2014-15): 15 Charlie Austin's debut season in the Premier League really could not have gone any better for the striker from a personal point of view - although Queens Park Rangers' perilous position may put a slight dampener on things for him. But 15 goals in 24 top-flight appearances for the former Burnley and Swindon Town striker has continued the Englishman's meteoric rise - just six years ago he was playing non-league football for the likes of Poole Town. Austin has scored goals on a regular basis in each of England's top three divisions and there will certainly be a host of Premier League clubs queuing up to sign him in the summer. Again this one may rest on QPR being relegated.
