Breaking news: Austin to Hammers odds crash

Bookmaker SkyBet has dramatically reduced the odds of Charlie Austin joining West Ham – making the England striker a 6/5 shot to move to the Boleyn.

But Newcastle remain firm favourites to sign the Rangers goal machine with odds of 4/5.

Just 48 hours ago, you could get odds as high as 15/1 for the QPR striker to join the Hammers.

You get still can a price of 16/1 for Mario Balotelli to join Slav’s foreign legion, while the Irons remain the unlikely favourites at 11/4 to sign Everton’s Kevin Mirallas, even though there appears to be no prospect now.

West Ham are also second favourites to sign Manchester United striker, Javier Hernandez, at 6/1, with Spurs as the 5/2 favourites. The Hammers are also listed as 20/1 outsiders to sign Yannick Bolasie from Crytsal Palace.
