Queens Park Rangers are refusing to budge on their £15million price tag for Charlie Austin. The recently relegated club are holding firm in their stance despite the striker moving into the last year of his contract. They feel that the fee is reflective of the 18 Premier League goals he scored in a struggling team last season — earning him an England call-up — and affordable for the types of clubs Austin has ambitions to play for. West Ham and Newcastle are both interested in the 26-year-old, but have so far been unprepared to meet QPR's valuation. Manager Chris Ramsey is frustrated that the transfer window stretches into the start of the season, but has made contingency plans.Charlie Austin is in the final year of his contract at Queens Park RangersBut the west London club are demanding suitors pay £15m for the strikerNewcastle and West Ham are leading the chase for the 26-year-old
