Parker has been sidelined with injury all season long, while Dawson has failed to establish himself in the first team due to the form of Steven Caulker.

Former Spurs boss Redknapp is reported to be keen on bringing the duo to Loftus Road, but Villas-Boas is adamant this will not happen.

"It's hard for me to say what QPR's decision-making will be in the transfer window," said the Portuguese tactician.

"Obviously Harry knows these players very well and if he has to add to his squad he will certainly look to our players, but we don't want to sell these two or loan them."

Villas Boas went on to say how Parker in particular remains central to the north London club's plans.

He added: "Everybody has to compete [for places] but we recognise the importance of the player and rate him very, very highly.

"He offers us even more possibilities in midfield. Experience, leadership, communication skills, all that.

"We have good recoverers of the ball in Sandro and Mousa [Dembele] in that midfield area but Scotty takes us to another level."
