QPR round-up: R’s unable to land winger, Barnsley want Kpekawa, Lumley set for loan move

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.

Meanwhile, Barnsley have made an offer for QPR defender Cole Kpekawa.

And Rangers have signed goalkeeper Seny Dieng after development squad keeper Conor Hudnott was ruled out for around six months with a shoulder injury.

The Swiss 21-year-old was a free agent, having left German club MSV Duisburg at the end of last season.

The signing means QPR can send goalkeeper Joe Lumley out on loan in the coming days.

Lumley, 21, had been lined up for a loan move to Gillingham but that deal now appears unlikely to go through.

Rangers are now looking at other options as they are keen for Lumley to pick up more first-team experience.
