A source close to Wycombe Wanderers has told the Free Press that there is ‘no validity’ to the current rumours linking defender Chris Forino a move away from the club.

There has been speculation that the 23-year-old centre back could depart the Adams Park side this summer with Queens Park Rangers leading the race to secure his signature.

QPR are currently managed by former Wanderers boss Gareth Ainsworth, with Forino supposedly being the 50-year-old's 'number one transfer target'.

However, if the West London outfit want to sign the defender, they will have to pay Wycombe for his services as the Saint Lucian's current contract is due to expire in 2024.

The West London side secured the services of former Chairboy Paul Smyth from Leyton Orient this week, and could bring in Dominic Gape and Lewis Wing who will become free agents today [June 30]. 

The new season will start on August 5.
