QPR playmaker Luke Freeman has shrugged off speculation linking him with Leeds United.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is said to be keen to snap up Freeman, who was outstanding in Rangers’ recent win against the Yorkshire side.
However, speaking to West London Sport, Freeman said: “I’m not concentrating on that at all.
“We’ve got 10 games left of the season and the most important thing is QPR.
“That’s the only thing I’m concentrating on – playing for QPR and picking up points and winning games.”
Talksport reported last week that Leeds want Freeman and are also monitoring his Rangers team-mate Ebere Eze.
Rangers manager Steve McClaren remarked after his team’s Freeman-inspired win over Leeds at Loftus Road that the R’s talisman would be good enough to play in Bielsa’s promotion-chasing Leeds team.

McClaren told West London Sport: “He showed his real quality and infectious enthusiasm that he gives to the team.
“When you’re looking for leadership and looking for people to have courage and take the ball, he’s got all that.
“He’s someone who can play at the top of the Championship, could play in that Leeds team and could play in the Premier League, so we’re delighted to have him here.”
Rangers turned down offers from Middlesbrough for Freeman last summer and he has since extended his contract.
He has been a key player for the west London side since being signed from Bristol City for £350,000 in January 2017, while young forward Eze has made a name for himself having been picked up by the R’s after being released by Millwall.
