Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Harvey White has been on trial at Watford.

According to a report by West London Sport, Queens Park Rangers youngster Harvey White will join Watford this summer after impressing on a two-week trial period at Vicarage Road.

The 18-year-old shot-stopper joined the QPR academy and signed a three-year scholarship at Loftus Road in the summer of 2017.

The Hoops, however, are said to be having a big clear-out this summer and White is listed among 12 youngsters set to depart the club despite still having one year remaining on his scholarship deal.

White started his trial at Watford at the beginning of April and it is said the youngster had attracted plenty of interest from a number of clubs following his impressive form for Rangers’ U18 side.

QPR are currently manager-less after sacking Steve McClaren following a terrible run of form. They have yet to appoint a new manager with John Eustace taking over the reigns on a temporary basis.

The Championship club are said to be struggling financially and the new manager will have to work with a strict budget. Tim Sherwood, Marc Bircham and Darren Moore have been listed as potential candidates.

The club’s financial situation could be the reason for cutbacks in the academy, meanwhile Watford may be on the verge of picking up a future Hornets number one for a potential bargain price.
