Liverpool, Newcastle target Austin not planning QPR departure anytime soon

Charlie Austin is not about to up and leave QPR despite the fact that other clubs are showing interest in his services.

The 25-year old striker has been linked with Liverpool and Newcastle United in recent times after scoring eight of his side's 17 Premier League goals in the opening 16 matches of the season but insists he is not going anywhere anytime soon.

When asked by a fan in a Q&A on Sportlobster whether he would soon be leaving Loftus Road, Austin said: "No. I'm really happy at the moment.

"Things are going so well at QPR and they've given me an opportunity to play in the Premier League which I've always dreamed of.

"I've got a contract, I'm happy, and the most important thing is that we stick together and climb the table as quick as possible (with the help of fans like you!!)"

Austin joined QPR from Burnley in the summer of 2013 and has since scored 28 goals in 51 appearances in all competitions for the west London club.
