Chances of QPR signing Brentford's highly-rated Jake Bidwell - see above - took a downward spiral today after Bees slapped a £3m price tag on him.

Hoops have no intention of paying that for any player this summer - not least a defender, and especially one with only a year left on his contract.

The new dawn of a cut-price Rs has them scouting Europe for bargains, especially France and Italy as exclusively revealed on GetWestLondon, as well as players out of contract in the Football League.

Instead, Rs will look to the encouraging form of Cole Kpekawa in the hope their 20-year-old academy graduate plugs the gap left by the departure of Clint Hill, Yun suk-Young and loanee Paul Konchesky.

Chance: Cole Kpekawa (R)

Kpekawa featured in four out of the last six games, and showed up impressively in home games against Reading and Bristol City, as well as the narrow defeat to Burnley.

Rangers also want more from Jack Robinson, out for a year with injury, before the former Liverpool broke his Rangers duck in the 2-1 win over Charlton in April.
