QPR boss dismisses reports Dieng could go for £6m

QPR goalkeeper Seny Dieng


Mark Warburton insists QPR would not even consider selling Seny Dieng for £6m.

The Rangers manager last season dismissed reports linking the goalkeeper with a potential £6m move to West Ham.

And Warburton has reacted similarly to recent reports touting Dieng with a move to Sheffield United for the same price.


It was claimed that the Yorkshire club had lined up Dieng, 26, as a replacement for Aaron Ramsdale, who had been tipped to join Arsenal.

Warburton said: “No one here is going cheap. I read about a price tag on Seny. Ludicrous.

“The fans need not worry. The owners will put the right price on the players.

“Every player in the world has got a value. If anyone leaves QPR it will be on the owners’ terms.

“If they leave it doesn’t matter, because they’ll leave at a price that represents great value for QPR.”

Dieng’s performances last season led to him being linked with a number of Premier League sides.

Having leapfrogged Joe Lumley and Liam Kelly, who have both since left the club, the Swiss firmly established himself as Rangers’ first-choice keeper.

Speaking in April after Dieng was linked with West Ham, Warburton said: “Where does this come from? Where do these figures come from?

“The validity of that source is questionable at best, I think. Put it that way.

“And the bigger picture; if any player leaves it will be for QPR’s valuation. Everyone’s got a price. The best player in the world has a price if you’re prepared to pay it.

“If any player leaves QPR it will be if the board deem it to be good value for the club.”
