Christophe Rodrigues Silva could reportedly join Steve McClaren’s resurgent Queens Park Rangers.

Steve McClaren is unveiled as new manager of Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road on May 21, 2018 in London, England.

The prospect of a transfer embargo makes Queens Park Rangers’ chances of enhancing their squad in the January transfer window very difficult.

As reported by West London Sport, QPR will be prevented from signing new players in the winter after breaching Financial Fair Play rules, although they could be permitted if they sell some of their existing crop.

So QPR might have to discard one or two if they want to bring Christophe Rodrigues Silva to Loftus Road in the New Year.

France Football claims that Steve McClaren’s side are interested in the former Lens attacker, who is currently playing for French third tier outfit L’Entente Sannois Saint-Gratien.

Fast and direct, France Football add that Silva could leave in January due to the fact he is only under contract until the end of the season.

If QPR sign the former France U19 international, they would only enhance an attack that has been boosted massively by the August loan signings of Tomer Hemed and Nahki Wells from Brighton and Burnley respectively.

Both Hemed and Wells scored in Tuesday’s 3-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday.
