Queens Park Rangers boss Mark Warburton is set to give youngsters more of a chance at Loftus Road over the upcoming season.
Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has admitted that he tried to sign Queens Park Rangers forward Paul Smyth in January, but he was knocked back in his attempts.
Smyth struggled for game time at QPR last term, but he impressed on loan at Accrington Stanley, raising hopes that he could make an impact at Loftus Road this term.
And MacAnthony admits that he would have liked to have added the QPR youngster to his squad at Posh.
Smyth is expected to be handed more of a chance at Loftus Road this season, with Mark Warburton now in charge.
QPR are set to give their youngsters more of a chance, as they cut costs to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
Posh are unlikely to return for Smyth this summer as a result, with other targets already identified by Darren Ferguson’s side.
Smyth scored three goals in 16 appearances for Accrington at League One level last season.
