QPR transfer news: Marti Cifuentes reveals Zan Celar stance & Bid lodged for wonderkid striker | OneFootball

We've rounded up all of the latest transfer news from Loftus Road

The January transfer window got off to a flying start for QPR as they welcomed Ronnie Edwards to Loftus Road on a season-long loan from Southampton, but things have quietened down in the following week or so.

After a dismal start to the season, Marti Cifuentes has turned things around for the Hoops, and all of a sudden they are looking up the table instead of looking over their shoulders at the relegation zone.

QPR are just eight points off the Championship play-off places after 26 games, and when you consider they were in the relegation zone not too long ago, they'll be hoping they can continue this impressive form and compete for a place in the top six.

Being able to do that will likely come down to how successful they are in the January transfer window, and Cifuentes will be hoping he ends the window with a stronger squad than he started it with.

With that in mind, we've rounded up all the latest QPR transfer news in one place.

Summer signing Zan Celar hasn't had the best of times since joining from Swiss side FC Lugano, and the striker has scored just two goals, both of which came in the same game against Cardiff City.

Many supporters hoped that would provide the springboard for the Slovenian international to kick on and add more goals, but a hamstring injury he suffered in December has kept him out of action for a number of weeks, and he's been linked with a move away despite recently joining the club.

Reports from Germany state that he's been offered to Werder Bremen, but manager Cifuentes has made it clear that he wants the striker to remain in West London.

When asked by Football League World after their recent win over Luton Town if he'd like to keep Celar at the club, Cifuentes said: "Of course."

Whilst it's not been a great start for Celar at Loftus Road, there should still be some hope that he's capable of finding form, and selling him this month is a risk because he could come good elsewhere, which will be a huge frustration for Cifuentes.

The club should be looking to keep Celar until the end of the season before reassessing in the summer if he doesn't find form.

QPR submit offer to sign Australian striker Thomas Waddingham

QPR have submitted an offer to sign Brisbane Roar striker Thomas Waddingham, according to Code Sports, although they'll face competition from some of their Championship rivals.

The 19-year-old has scored four goals in 11 appearances for Brisbane Roar, who are currently bottom of the A-League table, and the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth are also reportedly keen to sign the young Australian.

This isn't Cifuentes' first foray into the Australian market, with Daniel Bennie joining from A-League side Peth Glory in the summer, and Waddingham is seen as a bright prospect who has impressed in difficult circumstances for Brisbane Roar.

His four goals this season makes him the club's top scorer and Cifuentes is keen to bring the talented striker to West London, but they'll have to fend off Championship rivals to do so.
