# QPR: Andre Gray linked with late move

**Queens Park Rangers are reportedly interested in making a late summer move for Watford striker Andre Gray as transfer deadline day approaches.**

### The Lowdown: QPR make strong start

The Rs have made an impressive start to their Championship campaign, picking up 11 points from five games and sitting third in the table.

The hope is that Mark Warburton’s side mount a genuine promotion push this season, and new signings late in the transfer window could boost those chances.

### The Latest: Gray linked with QPR move

According to [The Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport)‘ Ryan Taylor on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/RyanTaylorSport/status/1432085336683794435?s=20), QPR are locking horns with Middlesbrough to sign Gray before the window closes.

Both clubs are believed to be ‘keen’ on sealing a loan move for the 30-year-old, who has [scored 21 goals in 125 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andre-gray/alletore/spieler/120565) for Watford.

The journalist tweeted: “#Birmingham & West Brom going head-to-head for Troy Deeney. He’s already in talks with Blues, who are frontrunners. Andre Gray could also leave before deadline as reported in last week’s column, #QPR & #Boro among those keen on loan.”

### The Verdict: Exciting potential signing

Gray has a huge amount of Championship experience, netting [46 times in 118 matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andre-gray/alletore/spieler/120565) in the division, so he could be a shrewd signing for the Rs.

The [£70,000-a-week](https://salarysport.com/football/player/andre-gray/) forward could add the firepower that is needed to keep up a promotion tilt, improving the squad depth at Warburton’s disposal in the process.

Former Luton teammate Cameron McGeehan once [hailed](https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/sport/football/gray-hailed-after-first-premier-league-hat-trick-clarets-1165385) Gray as a ‘top player’, and the [twice-capped](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andre-gray/profil/spieler/120565) Jamaica international could lift those around him given his standing in the game.
