Why Queens Park Rangers should move for Sunderland's Will Buckley

Queens Park Rangers boss Ian Holloway is keen to improve his attacking options at Loftus Road this season.

Queens Park Rangers should make a move for Sunderland winger Will Buckley this summer, as he has been told that he can leave the Stadium of Light (Chronicle).

Sunderland are unlikely to be looking for a big fee for Buckley, as he has struggled to break into the first-team in recent years.

And the forward could move to QPR with a point to prove, after a series of failed moves recently.

Buckley’s career has stalled ever since he left Brighton to join Sunderland, but he has previously been a real weapon at Championship level.

Buckley was a star at Brighton, and was one of the most feared attackers outside the top flight at one stage.

QPR boss Ian Holloway is a known admirer, after speaking highly of the wide-man back in 2012 (BBC Sport).

And if Holloway could get Buckley back to his best, then he could be a valuable addition for QPR, as they look to improve their attacking options for the upcoming campaign.
