QPR line up moves to sign Tottenham defender Kyle Naughton and Chelsea's Ryan Bertrand
Newly promoted Premier League club also target free agent Jay Bothroyd, Blackpool’s DJ Campbell and Hull’s Jimmy Bullard as Neil Warnock begins Queens Park Rangers are in talks to sign Tottenham and Chelsea’s youthful full-backs Kyle Naughton and Ryan Bertrand, Goal.com can reveal.
Manager Neil Warnock has identified the England Under-21 internationals as two of his principal targets as he prepares to beef up his squad ahead of QPR’s return to the Premier League.
Warnock is also lining up moves for free agent Jay Bothroyd, Blackpool’s DJ Campbell and Hull City midfielder Jimmy Bullard.
Goal.com understands that the QPR manager will have a summer kitty of between £10 million and £15m to bring in new blood.
He has identified right-back, left-back, central midfield and centre forward as the key positions that require improving.
Rangers have enquired about taking Naughton, who came through the ranks at Sheffield United and was on the verge of making the first team when Warnock was manager, on a season-long loan. The newly promoted club also want first option on a £4m deal to sign the right-back if they stay up in the Premier League.
Spurs are willing to allow Naughton to go out on loan again following spells at Middlesbrough and Leicester City as there will be fierce competition for the right-back position at White Hart Lane next season, with Kyle Walker strongly tipped to establish himself as first choice ahead of Vedran Corluka and Younes Kaboul. Alan Hutton, who is a target for Aston Villa, Fulham and Sunderland, is expected to leave the club.
