Queens Park Rangers boss Mark Warburton has praised  Eberechi Eze in West London Sport, amid links with Leeds United.

Eze has dealt with rumours of Premier League side’s interest all campaign and continued to impress for QPR, with the Sun claiming that Leeds are the latest side interested in acquiring his services.

Marcelo Bielsa has reportedly told Leeds to go out and sign Eze in the summer, as he feels he could be the perfect addition to his team.

And Warburton has positive words about the youngster, who has continued to excel despite the persistent speculation.

“He’s a very special player,” Warburton said.

“He’s worked so hard and for a young guy to deal with the headlines as he has – it’s very easy to distract a young player – I’m delighted for him and the manner he’s dealt with some of the pressures.”

Eze scored 14 goals and claimed eight assists over the past Championship season for QPR, after playing in every game for Warburton’s side.

The skilful midfielder would increase the creative options available to Leeds for next term, when they will be looking to make an impact back in the Premier League.

If Eze has played his last game for QPR then he managed to sign off in style in midweek, as he scored a brilliant goal in a 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion on the final day of the campaign.
