Transfer insider tips Rangers boss Beale to raid QPR for 27-year-old in January

Journalist Pete O’Rourke believes that QPR striker Lyndon Dykes could come onto Rangers’ transfer radar in January.

Michael Beale recently left QPR to take on the Rangers job.

The club’s former no.2 has returned as their new boss and QPR are left without a manager as they look to continue on their bid for promotion to the Premier League.

What QPR’s January transfer window might look like remains to be seen. But many fans are speculating online that Beale might look towards his former club for some new Rangers additions.

Who did QPR sign Peter Crouch from in 2000?

And speaking to thisisfutbol.com, transfer insider and journalist O’Rourke has said that QPR and Scotland striker Dykes could well be someone that Beale looks at in the January transfer window.

He said:

“It’s one that does have obvious links. You’ve got Lyndon Dykes who has played under Michael Beale and scored goals in the Championship for Queens Park Rangers.

“Rangers possibly could be in the market for a new striker and especially if Alfredo Morelos was to leave the club as well so I’m sure Lyndon Dykes is somebody that would definitely be on the radar for Rangers if they do need to bring in a striker.”

Dykes previously played in Scotland with Livingston. He was signed by QPR in 2020 and he went on to score 12 Championship goals in his maiden season at the club.

He netted eight last season and has six to his name so far this season – and for Scotland, Dykes is a huge fan favourite with eight international goals to his name in 26 appearances.

Dykes to Rangers…

Being a Scotland international, Dykes has been linked with Rangers before. But with Beale now in charge at Ibrox and the Gers potentially being in the market for a striker in  January, Dykes to Rangers has never looked so realistic.

There may not have been any contact between the two clubs, but O’Rourke makes a pretty safe prediction in that Dykes could well be someone Beale looks at in January.

For QPR, it’d be a real blow to lose the striker – although he’s split opinion among R’s fans at time, he remains their only real striker and he’s always someone who puts a shift in and works for the team.

QPR return to action v Burnley this weekend, and temporary boss Paul Hall will no doubt have his players fired up for this one.
