QPR among several clubs keen on Chelsea’s Bamford

QPR are one of several Championship clubs keen to take Patrick Bamford on loan from Chelsea.

Bamford, 22, wants another chance to prove himself in the Premier League after disappointing spells on loan at Crystal Palace and then Norwich last season.

After failing to make an impact at Palace, he disappointed a host of second-tier clubs – including QPR in January, when he made it clear he wanted to join a top-flight team.

He eventually moved to Carrow Road, but failed to score during his time with the Canaries and started just two matches.

Bamford’s loan spells

MK Dons (Nov 2012-April 2013): 14 apps, 4 goals
MK Dons (July 2013-January 2014): 28 apps, 17 goals
Derby (Jan 2014-May 2014): 23 apps, 8 goals
Middlesbrough (Aug 2014-May 2015): 44 apps, 19 goals
Crystal Palace (Aug 2015-January 2016): 9 apps, 0 goals
Norwich (Jan 2016-May 2016): 7 apps, 0 goals

Bamford is again looking to play at the top level, but could struggle to secure a move to the Premier League this time around.

Rangers remain interested and also want Tottenham’s Alex Pritchard – another player being pursued by a host of Championship clubs – as well Iceland striker Jon Dadi Bodvarsson.
