Nahki Wells impressed in the Championship at Queens Park Rangers last season and he could be set to return from Premier League Burnley.

Queens Park Rangers are the favourites to sign £5 Burnley flop Nahki Wells, according to Sky Sports, despite interest from Middlesbrough, Birmingham, West Brom and Bristol City.

The Championship’s most Jekyll and Hyde team, QPR could conceivably battle relegation or challenge for a place in the top six this season with the experienced Mark Warburton taking over at Loftus Road.

In Yoann Barbet, Lee Wallace, Todd Kane, Luke Amos and Conor Masterson, the Londoners have reinforced adequately both at the back and in central midfield.

But their strike force looks a little short of quality so a deal to bring Wells back for a second loan spell will certainly be well received.

Sky claims that a number of Championship clubs are interested in signing the former Huddersfield Town and Bradford City favourite but QPR are at the front of the queue right now.

Wells, who struggled with injuries after his £5 million move to Burnley in 2017 (BBC), scored seven goals in the second tier for QPR last season and he will no doubt be looking to improve that tally second time around.
