QPR dismiss Armand Traore sale rumours

Queens Park Rangers owner Tony Fernandes has dismissed reports suggesting that defender Armand Traore will leave the club this summer.

The Senegal international joined QPR from Arsenal last summer and had an impressive 2011-12 campaign.

The 22-year-old made 23 appearances for the London club and helped them retain their place in the Premier League.

However, recent reports have suggested that QPR could be willing to offload the left-back this summer, but club owner Fernandes has now rejected them.

"I am not sure where these rumours are coming from," he posted on Twitter.

"We are building a squad. Not selling. Armand Traore is a very important player to QPR."

QPR have signed a number of players so far this summer, including Park Ji-Sung, Fabio, David Hoilett and Ryan Nelsen.
