Dundee United will ‘ramp up’ their interest in QPR’s Liam Kelly should Benjamin Siegrist seal a move to Ipswich Town, reports Daily Record.
QPR’s Kelly looks likely to seal a permanent exit from the club this summer.
Th Scot joined from Livingston ahead of the 2019/20 campaign and would feature 19 times in the Championship in what was his maiden season in English football.
But he quickly fell down the pecking order going into this season and spent the second half of the campaign just gone out on loan with Motherwell.
He managed 18 Scottish Premiership appearances and impressed by all accounts, and he’s since been linked with a permanent move to the club.
Since, Dundee United have been linked and Daily Record now report that they will ‘ramp up’ their interest if their current no.1 Siegrist leaves for Ipswich Town.
The Tractor Boys are supposedly weighing up a £350,000 bid for the Swiss stopper.

Kelly looked a good purchase from QPR but he would prove indifferent in goal. Having to share the reigns with Joe Lumley won’t have helped but Warburton now has a clear no.1 in Seny Dieng.
With Lumley now at Middlesbrough as well, Kelly would still be playing second-fiddle to Dieng and so it’s understandable to see talks of a permanent exit for the Scot heating up.
And with Dundee United now interested, QPR could see a bidding war take place which would mean more money for them as they ready for the 2021/22 campaign.
