Manager’s comments suggest Sheffield United won’t be signing QPR keeper for £6m

Sheffield United have been linked with a move for QPR goalkeeper Seny Dieng.

The Sun say Dieng has been lined up as a replacement for England Under-21 international Aaron Ramsdale, who has been tipped to join Arsenal.

The Blades are said to be eyeing a deal to sign Dieng for around £6m after Ramsdale’s expected departure.


However, previous comments by Rangers manager Mark Warburton suggest the west London club have no intention of parting with Dieng for £6m.

The comments were made in April after Dieng was linked with a move to West Ham for the same fee – also by The Sun.

Warburton told West London Sport at the time: “If you wanted to do something, would you go and put it in the papers?

“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.”
