Les Ferdinand confirms QPR have 'irons in the fire' in the transfer market

Director of Football explains Caulker loan deal

QPR'S Director of Football, Les Ferdinand, admits he is 'working around the clock' to get deals done in the transfer market.

On the day Steven Caulker departed for Southampton on loan, Ferdinand revealed Rangers have a few irons in the fire themselves, as the countdown to the new season continues to gather pace.

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Ferdinand said: "We're definitely keen to add to the squad and we're working hard on a few deals at the moment.

"We know we need to strengthen in certain areas, particularly across the back four, and we've got our targets.

"We've got a strict budget in place that dictates the market that we're in and we're working hard to bring the right players into the squad."

On Caulker's loan move to St Mary's, Ferdinand added: "Steven wanted to play in the Premier League and we've managed to get a substantial loan fee and covering of his wages, which is a significant deal for the club.

"Our new philosophy and approach means this is what we're dealing with at the moment.

"The fans will need to be patient with us, but there's certainly a great desire to bring in new additions."
