HARRY Redknapp claims Shaun Wright-Phillips has turned down the chance to sign for Wanderers on loan.

The QPR boss has tried to loan out the former England international, who has played just 192 minutes of football in 16 months for the club.

But speaking this morning, Redknapp says the 33-year-old has failed to reach the right financial agreement – and is happy to sit on his contract at Loftus Road until it expires this summer.

Owen Coyle came close to bringing Wright-Phillips to Bolton in 2011 before he turned down the offer to join up with QPR.

Now it has emerged that Neil Lennon has also looked into bringing the former Manchester City star back to the North West as he looks to add attacking options to his squad.

“We've offered Shaun the chance to go out on loan, but he's not wanted to go. I think he needs to move on and play - I've told him that many times,” Redknapp said.

“He is a good lad, he's not a minute's problem. He trains hard. I think he needs to move on. But he's not going to move when he's on a fantastic contract.

“It is not the boy's fault. If someone wants to give you a lot less money you're not going to move are you? Blackburn, Bolton, maybe Charlton, they've come in for him and he didn't want to know. He doesn't want to go on loan.”
