# Queens Park Rangers: Fans call for Ilias Chair to be given new contract

**QPR fans have demanded that the club secure the future of Ilias Chair after somewhat sabotaging the club’s announcement of Charlie Owens’ own contract extension.**

[Owens](https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/club-news/charlie-owens-agrees-new-contract/) signed a new two-year deal on Thursday with an option of a further year, but it was Moroccan youngster Chair that was on fans’ lips as supporters called for the 21-year-old, who [scored](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49245333) in Tuesday’s shootout win against Bristol City in the Carabao Cup, to be given a new contract himself.

[Chair](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ilias-chair/transfers/spieler/380473) joined the club in 2017, and following a promising loan spell at [Stevenage](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ilias-chair/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/380473/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) last season, the [versatile](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ilias-chair/profil/spieler/380473) forward marked his return to the R’s lineup with a goal on his first start in midweek, putting QPR in front in a see-saw clash with their Championship rivals – ending the evening as the [man of the match](https://www.qpr.co.uk/videos/features/chair-cam-v-bristol-city/).

His [performance](https://twitter.com/QPR/status/1161683906971570177) was lauded on Twitter by the fans, and it seems they have followed it up with calls for the wonderkid to commit his long-term future to the Hoops.

While Owens did not go totally unnoticed after sealing his QPR future, it was Chair that dominated the replies to the announcement:
