Transfer gossip: QPR linked with Chelsea youngster

A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving the area’s clubs as the January window approaches….

Charly Musonda has been linked with QPR after Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink watched a Chelsea Under-21 match on Monday evening.

Former Chelsea striker Hasselbaink, who recently took over as Rangers manager, saw the Blues’ youngsters win 1-0 against Middlesbrough.

The Daily Mirror therefore suggests he wants to sign midfielder Musonda, 19, from Chelsea on loan.

The Express, on the other hand, pick up on reports in Spain and the Netherlands that Musonda is wanted by Feyenoord.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are leading a race to sign Charlton youngster Ademola Lookman, again according to the Mirror.

Tottenham and Manchester City are also said to be keen on the 18-year-old, who made his first-team debut for the Championship club last month and has scored three goals in seven matches.

Lookman’s representatives are currently discussing a new contract for him with Charlton. His current deal ends in 2017.

There is also speculation that Guus Hiddink will look to add to his squad following his recent appointment as Chelsea manager until the end of the season.

The Spanish media have suggested that Hiddink is keen to sign Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez and Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez.

It is claimed that Martinez, who has been linked with Chelsea during successive transfer windows, could move to Stamford Bridge in exchange for former Atletico man Diego Costa.

And QPR are looking to sign Tom Huddlestone from Hull City, it is claimed.

The Daily Mirror and the Daily Star both run a story declaring that Hasselbaink wants to buy former Tottenham midfielder Huddlestone, 28, for £4.25m.
