Chairman issues 'hands off' warning
Chairman Gianni Paladini has placed a £10million price-tag on highly-rated winger Lee Cook amid interest from Aston Villa and Everton.
The midfielder has been in sparkling form for the R's this season, prompting reports a move to the Premiership could be in the offing come January.
Paladini responded to the Kilburn Times: \"The asking price is £10million if anyone wants to get Lee Cook. There are several clubs after him and we know that people have been scouting him because he's playing so well this season.
\"But I want to make this clear - we persuaded Lee to sign a new contract with us because we want to keep him at the club.
\"Maybe nobody will give me credit for this, but I felt it was one of the most important pieces of business we had to do in the summer.\"
