QPR ‘enter race’ for Newcastle United transfer as Leeds United ‘enter talks’ with £2.65m international
The new season is already well underway and both Millwall and QPR are waiting for their first league win of the season. In more positive news, QPR beat Luton Town on penalties in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, but Millwall added to early season concern by losing to lower league opposition in Leyton Orient.
While QPR have been busy in the summer transfer window, Neil Harris has called for more signings ahead of the deadline, and the Lions clearly need to improve. Ahead of Friday night’s transfer deadline, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the two London clubs and their rivals.
The 19-year-old is yet to make a senior appearance for Liverpool, but he is an eight-time England under-19s international and remains part of that setup. Millwall will be his first taste of senior football, yet to make an appearance at the senior level. He joined Liverpool from Birmingham City’s academy in 2020.
QPR in Ashby race
QPR are said to be interested in a loan deal for Newcastle United full-back Harrison Ashby ahead of the deadline. According to Alan Nixon, the Hoops, as well as Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City are all interested in a deal for the up and comer.
Ashby spent last season on loan with Swansea City but he only managed 13 league appearances. The 22-year-old has been with Newcastle since joining from West Ham United. Ashby is not likely to feature for the Magpies any time soon and a loan deal looks likely ahead of the deadline, setting a race for his signature in motion.
Millwall bag Scanlon
Millwall are expected to wrap up a deal for Liverpool starlet Calum Scanlon on a season-long loan deal. According to the South London Press, a deal has been agreed for Scanlon to spend the rest of this season at The Den.
