QPR make offer for "wonderful" star who is also on radar of EFL rivals

Queens Park Rangers boss Marti Cifuentes still has work to do as his side look to guarantee their league status, but he already has a keen eye on the summer window with plates beginning to spin in pursuit of one particular target.

Queens Park Rangers look to rebuild in the summer window

Finding themselves above the drop zone but not mathematically safe from relegation, the R’s will be keen to secure their EFL Championship status before a summer window that could provoke changes at Loftus Road.

Tapping into that theme, Sheffield United are set to return for QPR defender Jimmy Dunne in the off-season following their unsuccessful attempt to land the Republic of Ireland international in January.

Setting out their stall, the west Londoners will hold out for a fee of £3 million. Journalist Graeme Bailey recently shed light on the situation, stating: “Don’t be surprised if the Blades come back, but I do know a number of their Championship rivals like him a lot. I really think QPR will find it hard to keep him. He has done really well at right-back.”

Evaluating where QPR arguably need to strengthen most, Cifuentes will surely prioritise brushing up on his forward line due to recent injury troubles involving trio Rayan Kolli, Michael Frey and Zan Celar.

Karamoko Dembele deputised through the middle in their defeat to Stoke City last weekend, though it is clear that experiment should only be short-lived due to his slight stature.

The Blades tried and failed to land him earlier in the year.

A dismal run of form has left little to shout about for a support that continues to turn up in their numbers. Still, that could be about to change amid recent developments on the recruitment front.

QPR submit offer for Macarthur FC star Kealey Adamson

Per Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph on X, QPR have made an offer for Macarthur FC full-back Kealey Adamson and will look to fend off competition from several Championship clubs for his signature.

He stated: “QPR have made an offer for Macarthur FC right-back Kealey Adamson. It’s understood the Australia U23 international is attracting interest from a number of clubs in the Championship. Adamson, 22, has two goals & three assists in his 23 appearances in the A League this season.”

Enjoying a rapid rise to prominence, Adamson was commended for his “wonderful” journey by Northern Tigers chief Jason Eagar following his call-up to Australia’s Under-23 side last year.

Making his mark in the A-League, the versatile defender has created 16 chances and completed 32 successful dribbles and occasionally features further up the right-hand side when required under Mile Sterjovski.

With Dunne potentially set to leave this summer, QPR appear to be on the lookout for a replacement to fill any potential void left by the Irishman.
