Report: Queens Park Rangers turn down Charlie Austin bid from Leicester City

Leicester City have reportedly had a bid of £12m turned down by Queens Park Rangers for striker Charlie Austin.

QPR are expected to sell Austin this summer as he only has a year left on his contract and they can cash in on him after a prolific first season in the Premier League.

His 18 goals couldn't keep Rangers in the top flight, and Leicester are the latest club to reportedly show a clear interest in the 25-year-old.

According to multiple reports this afternoon, QPR are holding out for more than the £12m bid by Leicester.

Newcastle United and Crystal Palace have also been linked with a move for the frontman.
