Roma striker linked with Chelsea and agent says QPR want Erding

QPR are interested in St Etienne striker Mevlut Erding, the player’s agent Willie McKay has told Sky Sports.

McKay says the 27-year-old Turkey international is wanted by several clubs and would cost around £7m.

“Erding is probably one of the most in-form strikers in Europe, having scored three goals in the opening two games after ending last season in prolific form,” McKay said.

“I am not surprised that he is attracting interest from a number of clubs and QPR are one club who have expressed an interest.

“Erding is available for around £7m and at the age of 27 he could prove to be a real bargain for someone in the Premier League as I am sure he would score goals in England.”

Meanwhile, Italian media reports claim Chelsea are interested in Roma striker Mattia Destro and have discussed a swap deal involving Fernando Torres.

Destro, 23, has also been linked with Tottenham.
