Southampton signing Charlie Austin is eager to quickly kickstart his second spell in the Premier League.

The Saints' £4million signing scored 18 Premier League goals for QPR last season before the London club suffered relegation and now he is back in the top flight, is eager to add to his impressive tally.

"I think it's important as a centre forward to be established in any league you play, and to play in the Premier League is massive," said the 26-year-old.

"I had one season and then went back to the Championship, but now it's important for me to establish myself in the Premier League.

"I got 18 goals during my first season and I just want to push on from that now."
