QPR have reportedly turned down a bid from Leicester City regarding Charlie Austin.

The Daily Mail reports that the Foxes recently lodged an offer of £12million for the 26-year old striker who scored 18 Premier League goals for the relegated R's last term.

There are a number of other clubs showing interest in Austin including Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth but so far, QPR have not accepted any bids for his services.

The former Burnley ace is keen to stay in England's top flight after an impressive debut season but the R's are desperate to keep him at Loftus Road.
