Queens Park Rangers are thought to have a limited budget to spend this summer.

Sunderland's Sebastian Larsson in action

According to a report in the Sunderland Echo, Sunderland midfielder Sebastian Larsson wants to stay in England – even if he leaves the Stadium of Light this summer.

Larsson’s future at Sunderland is in doubt, as his current contract expires in a month’s time.

The 31-year-old is yet to be presented with new terms by the Black Cats, and it now seems that he could leave.

Larsson is said to want to stay in England, but his struggles over the past season may put Premier League sides off.

It could leave Larsson having to look for a Championship club, and the midfielder could be a great fit at Queens Park Rangers.

QPR are known to be cutting back with costs, with Ian Holloway appealing for time at Loftus Road.

QPR are not thought to have much money to spend on transfer fees this summer, with Holloway being required to work efficiently in the market.

If QPR are looking for bargain buys, then it is hard to believe that they could pick up a better player than Larsson on a free.

And the Swedish international could provide the quality in midfield that Rangers so desperately need, if they are to improve next season.
