Marti Cifuentes makes QPR transfer admission as Daniel Farke makes Leeds United demand

The third round of Championship fixtures are now over and done with, and attention will now turn to the second round of the Carabao Cup. QPR were frustrated by a Plymouth Argyle side that ended the game with nine men on Saturday, drawing at home.

Meanwhile, Millwall picked up a more than respectable draw away to Hull City. Attention now turns to the cup and the all important transfer deadline on Friday night. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Championship clubs.

Cifuentes on Dykes’ future

QPR boss Marti Cifuentes has admitted he is uncertain over whether Lyndon Dykes will remain at the club beyond Friday night’s deadline. Dykes was absent from Saturday’s squad for the draw with Plymouth Argyle.

Asked about the forward’s absence, Cifuentes said: “I just pick players based on availability. He wasn’t available.” Asked if Dykes will be staying at the club, the Hoops boss added: “I don’t know.”

Nesbit completes move

Millwall forward Kevin Nesbit has now completed his loan move to Aberdeen, returning to Scotland temporarily after just one season with the Hoops. He said upon completing his move: “As soon as I knew Aberdeen were interested, it was a no brainer to be honest. I did have options down south and with other teams in Scotland but the way the team have started the season, I wanted to get involved.

“This is a massive Club. It’s one that makes an impression on you and I want to be part of that. I spoke to the gaffer and listened to his philosophy and his plans. I was impressed with his style of play and I believe it suits me. It is an exciting project that I want to be part of and I am ready to give it my all for the fans.”

Farke wans frontman

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke is said to want a new striker before the window slams shut. According to the Mail on Sunday, the German boss has made it clear he needs a new frontman with Mateo Joseph having started on Friday night, with Patrick Bamford and Joel Piroe also options in the position.

The Whites also need to strengthen in other areas with a number of players having left the club this summer, including Georginio Rutter, Crysencio Summerville, Glenn Kamara and Archie Gray. Leeds face a race against time to get replace those players.
