A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving the area’s Championship clubs…

Moussa Dembele’s proposed move from Fulham to Tottenham is off, according to Sky Sports News HQ.

The two clubs recently agreed a fee in the region of £5m and Dembele was due to undergo a medical.

Sky say the Whites have insisted that Dembele return to Craven Cottage on loan for the rest of the season but Spurs refused.

QPR do not want to sell Matt Phillips to West Bromwich Albion but could be forced to because he has refused to discuss a new contract, the Daily Star Sunday claim.

West London Sport revealed during the summer that Rangers had rejected a bid from Albion for the winger and more recently revealed that the Baggies were still interested in a potential deal.

Rangers are keen to reach an agreement to sell Phillips and offload a number of other players in order to balance the books.

However, the Star claim QPR do not want to do business but could be forced to, with West Brom expecting to sign Phillips for £8m.

Meanwhile, a transfer-gossip website has claimed that QPR have made a move for Oxford United midfielder Kemar Roofe.

And the Mirror say young R’s keeper Joe Lumley is wanted by Swindon, Colchester and Oldham on loan.
