Queens Park Rangers have signed Nahki Wells on loan for the season.
Wells joined QPR on loan towards the back end of the transfer window, to improve their strike force.
The forward took a step down from playing in the Premier League with Burnley to join QPR.
And Wells claims that McClaren’s presence at Loftus Road made his decision easier.
“Steve was the main reason why I signed for this football club. His track record speaks for itself,” he said.
“He’s so much more involved than people think.
“He still has a huge influence on the training pitch, but also off the field – he has a huge aura around the place.
“More importantly he’s a great person – one of the best I’ve come across in the game.”
QPR’s form has improved massively since the arrival of Wells, with McClaren’s side recovering after a poor start.
Rangers really struggled in the opening few weeks of the season, but they have been far improved since.
QPR have won three of their last four matches to climb into 19th place in the Championship table.
Wells and QPR will next by in action later this evening when they take on Millwall.
