Rangers have already added five new faces to their squad this summer, with the arrivals of Massimo Luongo, Ben Gladwin, Jamie Mackie, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Sebastian Polter, but there is still ‘a lot of work to be done.’
“We know there are still areas of the squad that we need to strengthen and we’re working hard to get deals done,” Ferdinand told www.qpr.co.uk.
“We know that we’ll probably lose a few players.
“But there’s a lot of good work being done and the scouts did a lot of hard work prior to the summer break in terms of identifying players, so we’re comfortable with the situation.
“It’s just a case of trying to get a few deals across the line now.”
He added: “Our main focus is on strengthening at the back. We’re well aware that we’re quite light on numbers in that area.
“We know what we need to do and what kind of players we want and we’ll continue to work hard to get some sensible deal done as soon as possible.”
TRIAL: Oscar Goburn will travel to Italy with QPR this summer
Trialists Chris Schorch and Oscar Gobern, who are both free agents, were both named in the R’s travelling party for the pre-season training camp in Italy earlier today and Ferdinand admits the nine day tour will provide him and the R’s backroom staff with an ideal opportunity to assess the pair.
“Chris has come in and done okay. He’s got a pretty impressive CV, but he’s still got a little bit of work to do,” said Ferdinand.
“Oscar has a lot of talent. He’s come in and done very well. He’s been well up there in terms of the testing and I’ve been really impressed with his attitude and the way he conducts himself.
“That’s where we are at the minute. We’re taking a look at a lot of players.
“We’ll take a look at them both in more detail, in live game environments, in Italy and then make some decisions.”
