More speculation over Austin – and Sunderland are linked with Hoilett

A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving QPR…

There is yet more speculation over Charlie Austin’s future today, with Newcastle again tipped to make a move to sign him.

QPR want £15m for the striker and have rejected a £12m bid from Leicester – the first offer or approach made for Austin despite numerous reports of various clubs attempting to sign him.

Newcastle are now ready to make an offer around the £15m mark, the Sunday Express claim.

The Daily Star Sunday also say Newcastle are prepared to meet QPR’s asking price in order to beat Leicester to his signing.

The Sunday People pick up on recent speculation that Austin would prefer to stay in London, suggesting he is waiting to see if Chelsea come in for him and, if they do not, that he would favour a move to West Ham.

And The Sun on Sunday reports that Bournemouth will offer QPR £14m for the 25-year-old.

Meanwhile, the Sunday Mirror say Sunderland, recently linked with Matty Phillips, are ready to make a £2.5m bid for Junior Hoilett and that German club Borussia Monchengladbach are also interested in the R’s winger.
