Speculation continues over the future of Rangers striker Austin

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

Speculation continues over the future of Charlie Austin, with Newcastle, Everton and West Ham again reported to be pursuing the QPR striker.

The Sun on Sunday say Newcastle are in pole position to sign him in a £15m deal but that Everton are also targeting him.

West Ham are among the other clubs to have been continually linked with Austin in recent months despite only Leicester making an approach for the 26-year-old.

The Mail on Sunday declare that the Hammers have joined Newcastle in a battle to sign him, while the Sunday Mirror say West Ham have stepped up their apparent interest because of an injury to Enner Valencia.

Once again the Mirror suggests winger Matt Jarvis could be offered to QPR in an £11m cash-plus-player deal.

On Saturday, Dutch media reports claimed QPR were set to sign FC Twente midfielder Kyle Ebecilio.

Ebecilio is a Netherlands Under-21 international who was on Feyenoord’s books and then spent three years at Arsenal before joining his current club in 2013.

Rangers have not shown any interest in signing Ebecilio, 21.

However, it has been reported that he has been absent from training as he apparently finalises a move to west London.
