The Birmingham Mail have followed up speculation that QPR failed in a deadline-day move for Aston Villa defender Tommy Elphick.[phone]< !IFRAME Tag // Tag for network 1639: Snack Media // Website: WestLondonSport.com // Page: WestLondonSport.com ROS // Placement: WestLondonSport.com Mobile MPU TOP (6335481) // created at: Sep 30, 2016 5:58:04PM -->[/phone]

It comes after the Sunday People reported that Rangers tried to bring the 29-year-old centre-back to Loftus Road, after the departure of Steve Caulker to Lokomotiv Moscow.

However, it is said that the move broke down when Villa could not secure a replacement.

Former Brighton man Elphick joined Villa from Bournemouth in the summer on a three-year deal, and was initially named club captain.

However, he has only featured in eight out of Steve Bruce’s 18 matches in charge and was an unused substitute in Villa’s 1-0 win at QPR in December.
