QPR have urged the Daily Telegraph to disclose all information they have relating to Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink so they can complete their internal investigation.

Hasselbaink is alleged to have negotiated a £55,000 fee to fly to the Far East and speak to investors in what proved to be a fictitious firm, which the newspaper says made clear it was interested in getting involved in player transfers.

"Once again, we appreciate the QPR fans want this issue dealt with as quickly as possible, which is why we request full cooperation from The Telegraph in providing us with the aforementioned footage and transcript.
