QPR miss out on Swansea winger
QPR have missed out on the signing of Swansea City winger Modou Barrow.
The 23-year-old Gambian was among Rangers’ top summer targets and the club were initially optimistic they would be able to take him on loan.
However, Swansea stalled over a potential deal when he impressed during pre-season, forcing his way into their first team for the start of the new campaign.
And with Barrow having also impressed in the Welsh club’s opening couple of Premier League matches, Rangers now accept he will not be joining them.
Barrow, who spent part of his childhood in Sweden, joined Swansea from Ostersunds in September 2014.
He played in the Championship last season during spells on loan at Blackburn and Nottingham Forest.
QPR have been keen to bring in wingers following the summer departures of Matt Phillips and Junior Hoilett.
They eventually landed another of their top targets, Yeni Ngbakoto, following several weeks of negotiations with French club Metz.
Rangers would also like to sign Australia winger Matthew Leckie from German club Ingolstadt 04 but a deal currently looks unlikely, while a number of other potential signings are being considered.

why is it,that we keep losing out on potential signings?JFH was begging us the supporters to give our backing to our young players,so why are not the club backing cole Kpekawa instead of trying to sell him.So we’re not buying anyone but we are selling or loaning anyone that moves,no wonder only 3985 turned out for our latest league cup game.
