The Queens Park Rangers defender is a rumoured target for Burnley.
Queens Park Rangers are planning contract talks with Nedum Onuoha following interest from Burnley, the Sun reports on page six of its Goals pullout.
Onuoha, whose contract expires in six months’ time, made his first Championship appearance in more than three months against Leeds United on Saturday.
But while a move to Burnley is sure to appeal to the adopted Lancastrian – especially given their impressive start to the Premier League season [Sean Dyche’s men are currently above big-spending Arsenal and Everton in sixth position] – his recent comments suggest he could opt to remain at Loftus Road.
“It depends what the club want to do, to be honest,” said Onuoha during an interview with West London Sport last month.
“They’ve not spoken to me yet, but seven or eight months in football can be a very long time. So hopefully I can get back into the side when I’m fit, play well and maybe then we’ll have that conversation.
“It’d be nice to have some sort of continuity, but this is football – every year you have to poise yourself for potentially being somewhere else.”
He added: “I’ve got a daughter who was born down here and every time I take her up north she questions the weather.
“I do love it here. We’ve got a home here and this is where I’ve been for coming up to six years.”
West London Sport reported earlier this week that QPR could look to offload players in January to ease their Financial Fair Play concerns.
And according to the Sun, the R’s are ready to sell another centre-back, Steven Caulker, although doing so would only increase the need to keep hold of Onuoha.
The Nigeria-born player could be a welcome addition to Burnley’s side, which contains only three specialists in his position.
