Gareth Vincent from BBC Sport is reporting that a third bid from QPR has bee rejected by the Swans with the R’s still “some way” short of the ยฃ750,000 valuation that has been placed on the head of Paterson.
There were two bids made at the weekend for Paterson, both rejected, and it seems as if QPR really have set their sights on securing him after failing to get anywhere with a move for Derby’s Tom Lawrence.
Vincent tweeted as below.
Swansea have rejected a third bid from QPR for Jamie Paterson. Understood Rangers are still a long way short of Swansea's valuation, which has been around ยฃ750,000. Remains to be seen whether that changes as the day goes on https://t.co/k44Gqu0SAj

Paterson has been out of the first team picture at Swansea in recent weeks due to his head being turned by transfer interest from elsewhere with both Blackburn and Bournemouth reported earlier today as considering a move.
Russell Martin has been clear in his view that Paterson has been badly advised by those involved in this process and has given hints that he may welcome Paterson back into the squad and does not necessarily see his Swansea City career as over.
And it appears that unless Rangers move towards our valuation of the player that Martin could be right and would need to welcome him back into the squad.
