According to the East Anglian Daily Times, Ipswich Town’s Alan Judge wants to talk to Queens Park Rangers over a move to Loftus Road following a second rejected bid for the play-maker.

The report claims Ipswich have turned down another QPR bid for Judge, in the region of £450,000. It is said the Tractor Boys see him as integral to their plans this season, but a move to Loftus Road interests him.

Judge joined Ipswich last January on a short-term deal from Brentford.

The Tractor Boys then extended his contract this summer, with Judge signing a two-year deal at Portman Road despite the club suffering relegation from the Championship.

Judge will be regarded as one of League One’s best players should he remain at Portman Road. The Irishman has an abundance of ability, and only unfortunate injuries have hampered his progress.

But QPR, now managed by Judge’s former boss Mark Warburton, represent an enticing prospect for Judge and the attacking midfielder will know his best days at Brentford came under Warburton’s guidance.

The Hoops are on the lookout for a new attack-minded midfielder after selling Luke Freeman to Sheffield United. Judge is said to be the QPR’s prime target leaving Ipswich in a testing position.

The 30-year-old made 19 league appearances for Ipswich last term, averaging 2.5 shots and 2.3 key passes per game.
