QPR linked with French striker and Traore with loan move to Italy

QPR are reportedly strong contenders to sign Auxerre striker Paul-Georges Ntep, while Armand Traore has been linked with Italian side Livorno.

French daily L’Equipe report that Rangers have offered Ntep higher wages than Rennes, who have been trying to sign him.

Arsenal are among the many clubs recently linked with the 21-year-old, who is said to have also attracted interest from a number of German sides.

Meanwhile, Sky Italia say Livorno want to sign Traore on loan.

Traore has previously played in Italy as he had a spell on loan at Juventus before joining QPR from Arsenal.
