Bristol City have been linked with a summer move for fellow Championship goalkeeper Joe Lumley from QPR.
The Robins are in the hunt for a new shot stopper for next season and the fellow Championship ‘keeper is a target, according to Bristol Live.
Frank Fileding’s contract at Ashton Gate expires at the end of the campaign and Lee Johnson’s are expected to bring in a replacement.
Lumley, who is 24 years-old, has made the number one spot at QPR his own this season. He has played 41 games in all competitions for Hoops. His contract with the Hoops expires in 2021.
The 6ft 5inc ‘keeper started his career as a youngster at Tottenham Hotspur but was released by them in 2010. He subsequently joined QPR and has been under contract there ever since.
Lumley made his debut for the R’s in January 2016 in a FA Cup fixture against Nottingham Forest. He has obtained plenty of first-team experience out on loan at several different clubs.
He has endured loan stint
s at Bishop’s Stortford Town, Accrington Stanley, Morecambe, Stevenage, Bristol Rovers and then Blackpool last season.
Here is how the QPR fans have reacted on Twitter to the Robins’ interest in their goalkeeper-
As a qpr fan we need to get out of the mentality that we should be keeping our assets. So if a bid of £3m + comes in we should take it

Seny Dieng is a really good keeper tbf, deserves a chance to play for us. 3 or 4 mil for lumley and i’d probably let him go. wouldn’t want to sell though! #QPR https://t.co/AZblGQrQ0U

his first full season at championship level and Lumley has more clean sheets than Krul and Pantilimon who have over 200 PL appearances between them. #QPR https://t.co/wq9pO4wC2m
