"?Queens Park Rangers have confirmed that an internal investigation is underway after manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink became one of the latest names caught up in the Daily Telegraph's ongoing campaign against corruption in English football.
Undercover reporters posing as businessmen filmed an unsuspecting Hasselbaink negotiating a £55,000 deal with a fake agency allegedly looking to sell players to QPR.
The Championship club have already had Hasselbaink meet with chief executive Lee Hoos and director of football Les Ferdinand to discuss the allegations and looking into the matter.
A statement issued on Thursday afternoon read:
"The club can confirm that an internal investigation is ongoing following allegations made against QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in a national newspaper on Wednesday 28th September.
"First and foremost, the club reiterates that we take these allegations very seriously.
"As part of the investigation, CEO Lee Hoos and Director of Football Les Ferdinand both met with Hasselbaink this morning to interview him regarding his version of events.
"Thereafter, a meeting took place at our Harlington training ground, whereby all players and staff were addressed by Hoos to explain the club's stance.
"As part of the ongoing investigation, the club will need to view an unedited version of the video footage and full transcript of the discussions that took place.
"We appreciate the QPR fans want this issue dealt with as quickly as possible, and that is the club's intention.
"In the meantime, Hasselbaink and his staff are continuing to prepare the team for our Championship fixture against Fulham this weekend."
Hasselbaink joined QPR in 2015 after a successful start to his managerial career in England with Burton Albion.
