QPR Now Confirm The Signing Of Another Top Star As Coach Sends Three Words Message.
QPR recruited midfielder Isaac Hayden on loan from Newcastle United in January, and he proved to be a huge success at Loftus Road.
QPR were looking for fresh midfielders in January, and their winter loan for Hayden appeared to be a fair offer at the time. It was definitely one that paid off, with the Newcastle United player playing a significant role in their survival efforts.
Hayden, 29, played 17 Championship games for Marti Cifuentes, helping them escape the relegation zone.
The former Arsenal star has subsequently stated that he would be interested in returning to the Rs, as a Newcastle exit approaches, and the club is optimistic of completing a deal.
However, the transfer market can be unexpected, so QPR should also explore some alternative options for the loan favourite. The club should consider the following three players:
Hakeem Odoffin, a versatile Rotherham United player. Odoffin, 26, was one of Rotherham United’s best performances throughout a dreadful season, and following their relegation, it would not be surprising if he was given the opportunity to continue in the Championship.
He might be an economical alternative, since his contract expires in 2025. A price would be necessary, but the Millers could be tempted to cash in rather than risk losing him for free next summer.
Odoffin can play in a variety of positions, and his physicality might be very beneficial for QPR.
Mahamadou Susoho, a Manchester City youngster Susoho’s contract with Manchester City expires this summer, and as it winds down, teams should be lined up to offer him a crack at regular senior play.
As a fellow Spaniard, Cifuentes should exploit that connection to entice the excellent defensive midfield down a level with the promise of a first-team breakthrough.
The 19-year-old has been in and around Pep Guardiola’s team and has a promising future, but with his contract ending, QPR would be well to take note.
Jairo Riedewald, Crystal Palace
It has been revealed that Dutchman Riedewald will leave Crystal Palace when his contract expires. He may well stay in top-flight football, maybe elsewhere, but he might also be a good addition for QPR.
He can play left-back, centre-back, and defensive midfield, and his high-level experience would make him a standout acquisition in the Championship.
As a free agent, the lack of a transfer fee may make a deal with somewhat greater pay more appealing.
