QPR goalkeeper Alex McCarthy is considering leaving the club this summer as Rob Green looks set to snub interest from Chelsea and stay at Loftus Road.

McCarthy was hoping to be promoted to become the club's first-choice keeper in the Championship next season after Green was targeted by Chelsea to become their new No2.

But Green had second thoughts about moving to Stamford Bridge to sit on the bench while Chelsea have since made a move for Stoke keeper Asmir Begovic, who is expected to complete an £8million transfer to the Premier League champions this week.

McCarthy started just three matches after joining from Reading for £2.5million last season, and told Standard Sport in May he was unsettled at the club.

"It has been frustrating," he said.

"I played the the full season for Reading last year but I’m playing the odd game here and I just want to play football."

The 25-year-old has already attracted interest from Crystal Palace, West Brom, Newcastle and Swansea, although he would face similar problems in getting first-team football there.

Meanwhile, West Brom are considering ending their attempts to sign winger Matt Phillips because of QPR's £10million asking price.

West Brom had a £5million bid turned down last week, but were hoping to carry on negotiating and come to a compromise.

However, Rangers are refusing to lower their valuation of the Scotland international, who has two years remaining on his contract.
