He added: “I do think he’d fit in at an Arsenal, or a Leicester, or Newcastle. Newcastle are on a rebuild, the way they’re going.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if they threw the dice at him.” Ward-Prowse scored his 14th career Premier League free-kick in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Brighton.
He is just four behind David Beckham’s all-time record of 18 free-kick goals in the competition. But Austin believes there is more to the 27-year-old’s game than just his set-pieces.
He continued: “The best thing for him, his set pieces are brilliant, probably going to beat David Beckham’s record, but the nuts and bolts of his game, running hard, winning the ball back for his team, leading this team, is phenomenal.”
