Big season ahead...

QPR striker Charlie Austin looks set to see out his contract with the Championship club, despite plenty of top-flight interest.

The 26-year-old striker had been heavily linked with Manchester United, with a move to Old Trafford odds-on with several bookmakers at one stage, while fellow Premier League clubs Crystal Palace and Newcastle United had also expressed an interest.

Austin will be available on a free in the summer of 2016, but is ready to lead the club’s promotion charge as they look to bounce back from last season’s relegation.
