Charlie Austin certain to leave QPR

Queens Park Rangers will offload star striker Charlie Austin before the transfer deadline, according to Les Ferdinand.

The 26-year-old was one of the stand out performers for the R's last season as they were relegated from the Premier League in the first coming.

Club director of football Les Ferdinand has now revealed that the West Londoners have received two firm offers, which are well below their valuation for the player.

However, he added that the former Clarets star is certain to join a top-flight club before the closure of the transfer window.

Austin scored 18 league goals for the R's last term.
