Charlie Austin insists he's fully committed to QPR despite interest from Sunderland and Leicester City.

The former Burnley frontman smashed 20 goals for the Hoops last season as they won promotion from the Championship via the play-offs.

Austin's exploits have attracted the attention of Premier League rivals Sunderland and Leicester, who were also believed to be considering a swoop for the 25-year-old.

However, the ex-bricklayer says he's settled at Loftus Road, where he still has two years remaining on his contract.

"I am happy at QPR, there is no reason for me to look anywhere else," said Austin.

"These are exciting times at QPR, we are a club on the up and hopefully we can go on and secure our Premier League status next season.

"It is going to be hard work and I am prepared to put that in. I am looking forward to getting started.

"What we created last season, we are carrying that into the start of pre-season training and I think that will continue into the season.

"The manager has set our targets for this season and we have to work hard to make sure we achieve that."
