QPR knock back Leicester City bid for Austin

Championship side Queens Park Rangers have reportedly rebuffed a summer offer from Leicester City for star striker Charlie Austin.

The talented marksman is expected to seek a move to the Premier League club this summer, but the R's are unwilling to offload him for anything less than £15m.

Widespread reports cite that the Foxes have had a £12m bid rejected by the R's for the prolific goal scorer.

Austin's 18 league goals were not sufficient to keep the West Londoners in the Premier League last season.
