Championship manager responds to Newcastle United speculation

The club has reportedly scouted the 23-year-old Queens Park Rangers left-back.

QPR manager Warburton said: “Ryan’s been playing well, and it’s part and parcel of the game that there’ll be speculation about a player who’s performing well.

“It doesn’t bother me, and I know Ryan’s happy here and knows he has to stay fully focused.

“In many ways, the more speculation there is about players, the better. It means they’re doing well.”
