QPR have rejected an offer for teenage striker Ray Jones from Championship rivals Colchester United.
The U's, keen to sign a new forward after Chris Iwelumo moved to Charlton Athletic earlier this summer, had made a £200,000 bid for the 18-year-old.
QPR chairman Gianni Paladini told the club's official website: "There's no way we're going to sell our best players unless the price is right and Ray Jones has a very big part to play in our future.''
Jones has scored six goals in 18 starts and 19 substitute appearances for the Championship side.
