Sheffield United are interested in signing Conor Washington from Queens Park Rangers on transfer deadline day, according to Sky Sports (Transfer Live blog, 09:39am, Friday, August 31, 2018).

It has been reported that United are closing in on a loan deal for Washington, with Championship rivals Millwall also claimed to be interested in the 26-year-old striker.

West London Sport has reported that QPR have made Washington, who can also operate as a winger, available for a move today.

Good decision?

According to Sky Sports (Transfer Live blog, 09:39am, Friday, August 31, 2018), Washington has scored just 13 league goals in 88 matches for QPR.

Much was expected of the Northern Ireland international striker when he joined QPR from Peterborough United in January 2016 for a transfer fee reported by Wales Online to be worth £2.5 million, but the 26-year-old has struggled to make a huge impact at Loftus Road so far.

It would make sense for QPR to move Washington on loan for the 2018-19 campaign.
