Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp dismisses Alexandre Pato talk

Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp has rejected speculation linking the club with Brazil forward Alexandre Pato.

It was reported earlier this week that the R's were keen on signing the 25-year-old, who currently plays for Corinthians.

Despite admitting that he was offered the former AC Milan player, Redknapp has claimed that Pato will not be coming to Loftus Road this month.

"I got offered him. Someone rang yesterday and today it's in the newspapers," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"He is obviously a good player and I am not being disrespectful to him but no, he is not the type of player we are looking for. I am sure he is a good player but he would not be for us."

QPR return to action next Saturday when they make the trip to Stoke City in the Premier League.
