Samba happy QPR turned down Zenit bid

QPR defender Christopher Samba is happy the club rejected a Russian bid for him last week.

The Rs turned down around £14million from Zenit St Petersburg - which would have turned an instant £1.5m profit.

Samba told The Sun: "All the money in the world cannot make you happy if you don't have your family with you.

"I came back to be with my family. Life needs to have both sides - enjoy your football and have your loved ones close to you. I have no plans to go back to Russia.

"I'm a Rangers player and I will give 100 per cent to this club."
