Les Ferdinand says QPR will not reduce the asking prices for Charlie Austin and Matty Phillips.

QPR are believed to be asking for £15m for striker Austin and £10 million for winger Phillips.

Albion have had an offer of £5million rejected for Phillips with QPR seemingly in no mood to budge.

Both players are on a pre-season training trip to Italy and are not causing a fuss to move.

“We had an offer come in for Matty Phillips that was well below what we value him at, so we turned the offer down,” Ferdinand said.

“We also had an offer for Charlie which, again, was not where we want it to be.

“If they continue to offer that kind of money then I’ll be pleased because we’ll end up keeping the players.

“They [Austin and Phillips] are aware of the situation. They’re fine and are just getting on with what they’ve got to do.

“You’re a professional for Queens Rangers at this moment in time. Until that changes I expect your professionalism in everything that you do – and so far they have been absolutely bang on.”
