Queens Park Rangers should target Scunthorpe United midfielder Josh Morris this summer.
One of the major areas in the squad where Queens Park Rangers need to bolster this summer is their attacking department.
Ian Holloway’s side is in desperate need of a creative flair, and this is something the manager should look at, while bolstering his squad.
It won’t be easy for QPR to attract players from the Premier League – like what Aston Villa did with John Terry – or sign a top Championship player from direct rivals as well.

Plus, attacking midfielders or forwards usually do not come in cheap. Therefore, instead of signing five or six average players, QPR should look to bring in two to three quality players.
So, what’s the solution? They may have to look further down the league to sign players who would add quality to the side – step up, Scunthorpe’s Josh Morris.
There are few better creative players in League One than him – he is a gem of a talent.
Last season, he scored 19 goals for the Irons – only Billy Sharp and James Vaughan scored more than him.
However, it is not just goals that make him a special player. He was at his creative best last season, racking up 17 assists for the side.
Most importantly, he is a game changer. He joined the club on a free transfer, and turned out to be a master-stroke signing for the club.
Obviously, Scunthorpe will try to hold on to their star player, but QPR can test their resolve with a seven-figure transfer bid.
Morris would love to test himself at a higher league, and QPR should make an attempt to lure him away from Glanford Park this summer.
