Ian Holloway looks to have identified the Aston Villa striker for the London Club.

Queens Park Rangers have joined the race to sign Aston Villa stirker, Ross McCormack, according to a report in the Birmingham Mail.

The 30-year-old forward, who previously played for QPR’s London rivals, Fulham, has recently been involved in a very public falling out with Villa manager, Steve Bruce, and looks all but set for a move away from the club.

However, the Scottish forward could be offered a life line by QPR boss Ian Holloway according to the Mail, who looks keen to recruit a new striker at Loftus Road. The London club, who have struggled for goals all season, recently lost forward Tjaronn Chery to Chinese Club Guizhou Hengfeng Zhichzeng, and are now in need of a new striker.

The report goes on to suggest that Holloway would like to add more striking options to his side, though McCormack’s wages are a concern. QPR would like him on loan for the rest of the season.

Derby and Sheffield Wednesday are also in the running for McCormack who looks set to leave Villa before the end of the transfer window, as Villa look to recoup the substantial fee they payed to bring him to the club from Fulham in the summer.
