QPR battle Swansea City for 9-goal striker as £2.2m asking price named

QPR are being linked with a move for a striker who has reportedly piqued their interest in the past. The Hoops are currently 13th in the Championship, and they are just four points off the top six as things stand, hoping to make a run for the top-half and perhaps the play-offs in the final months of the season.

Marti Cifuentes has turned things around nicely after a difficult start, and it looks as though the Hopps have found their manager for the time being. Though, like the vast majority of managers, Cifuentes will need some financial backing in the way of new signings, and the club has been efficient in the market over the last two windows.

QPR will already be planning for the summer, and according to reports in Sweden, a striker is being considered currently. Fotboll Direkt are reporting that IK Sirius forward Noel Milleskog is being eyed. The 22-year-old scored nine and assisted four in 29 games for Sirius last season, and he is a young player showing promise in Scandinavia. In his two league appearances this season, he is yet to score, with the Swedish season recently getting underway.

The report claims the Hoops are hot on Milleskog’s trail again after showing interest in the summer, and it is reported the asking price will be £2.2million this summer. Swansea City and FC Twente have also shown interest, according to the report.

Milleskog is under contract with this current club until 2028 as things stand, so Sirius can stand firmly by their current asking price. Meanwhile, it’s no secret that QPR are in need of a goalscorer. Their current top scorer is Michael Frey with six goals, and their next top scorer is defender Jimmy Dunne with just four.

Zan Celar, who was signed to score goals having hammered in 40 goals in 95 league appearances for former club Lugano, has struggled in front of goal, netting just twice so far this season.
