Queens Park Rangers have reportedly opened contract talks with in-form striker Charlie Austin.

The 25-year-old has scored 11 goals in 15 games this season, including a hat-trick during Saturday's 3-2 win over West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League.

Austin's current deal at Loftus Road is due to expire in summer 2016.

However, with a number of higher-placed clubs monitoring his availability, QPR are now in discussions over extending his stay in West London, according to Sky Sports News.

Austin joined QPR from Burnley in August 2013 for an undisclosed fee.
