Newcastle, Everton and Bournemouth were interested in doing a deal for the England international this summer but Palace maintained hope they could lure the forward until the final week of the window, when Austin turned down a move to Selhurst Park.

The 26-year-old has already scored four Championship goals this term and appeared to end speculation surrounding his immediate future on Monday, tweeting: "#QPR big season ahead."
