Recent reports have recommended that Michael Beale is eager to take Dykes with him to Ibrox when the switch window re-opens subsequent month, which would go away the Hoops extraordinarily low on attacking choices within the second half of the marketing campaign.

The previous Livingston ahead is at the moment joint-top of QPR’s goalscoring charts alongside Chris Willock and whereas the Hoops at the moment sit sixth within the Championship, there is no such thing as a doubt that discovering the again of the web has been an issue for the west London aspect within the present marketing campaign.

Though Kelman is but to duplicate the shape he confirmed when first breaking into Southend’s first workforce, he’s nonetheless younger and there’s no purpose why he can’t attain his apparent potential with QPR sooner or later.

If Dykes is to depart in January, then Critchley may contemplate recalling the 21-year-old with a purpose to give him one other likelihood to impress within the Championship.
