Round-up: QPR knocked back by Spurs, JFH on Washington, Chelsea exit, McCormack latest

Tottenham have told QPR they want £8m to sell Alex Pritchard and are reluctant to let him leave on loan.

West London Sport recently revealed that Rangers were hoping to sign the 23-year-old on loan with a view to a permanent transfer.

But Spurs are not keen and Rangers are one of several Championship clubs hoping a loan deal does become an option if Pritchard is not sold.

QPR are more optimistic of completing a deal to sign Iceland forward Jon Dadi Bodvarsson from Kaiserslautern before next weekend’s Championship opener against Leeds United.

The R’s were in action on Saturday, beating Watford 2-0 in a friendly at Loftus Road, where Conor Washington scored his first goal for the club.

Boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink nevertheless warned that Washington faces a battle to secure a place up front.

Hasselbaink has also made it clear that he is not looking to sign a midfielder following the recent news that new signing Ariel Borysiuk will be sidelined for six weeks.

The largest-ever crowd for a Chelsea match – 105,826 – saw the Blues lose 3-2 to Real Madrid in a friendly at Michigan Stadium.

Meanwhile, Baba Rahman is expected to join German club Schalke on a season-long loan from Chelsea in the next 48 hours.

Fulham were also in action – they looked impressive as they beat Crystal Palace 3-1 in a friendly at Craven Cottage.

Whites boss Slavisa Jokanovic said after the game that he expects Ross McCormack to return to training on Monday.

And Brentford, who drew 1-1 at Millwall in Tony Craig’s testimonial, have completed the season-long loan signing of Leicester left-back Callum Elder.
