Newcastle, Liverpool target Austin won't demand QPR transfer

Charlie Austin says he won't slap in a transfer request at QPR.

Austin, a target for Liverpool and Newcastle United, says he won't be turning his back on the club this summer and certainly won't be kicking up a fuss to leave.

"Unless I'm told otherwise I will report for pre-season - I did exactly the same at Burnley when I had a year to go and I could have gone to Hull," said Austin, speaking to The Sun.

"It's the way I am. I'm not going to start refusing to come in or refusing to go there. I have one year left and I have to honour my contract. It's out there that I've only got one year left but I will come back for when pre-season starts and hopefully get fit for the season to come.

"If I am told to leave then I won't be here. If I am told to report and nothing is said then I will be here when we report back on day one."
