Burnley are set to recall Nahki Wells from his successful loan spell at QPR as they await bids from Bristol City and Wigan Athletic to sign the striker, Bristol Live understands.

Wells has enjoyed a fruitful six months at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, scoring 13 goals in 26 Championship appearances - one every 124 minutes.

Knowing there is current interest in the 29-year-old from across the Championship and with Bermudian international not in Sean Dyche's plans, the Clarets are ready to hear offers.

It's unclear exactly what they're valuation is for Wells, having paid Huddersfield £5m to sign him 2017, but it would potentially be in that region given the club have a 12-month option on his contract, which is due to expire this summer.

The news will come as a huge blow to QPR, as Wells is the club's top scorer and there is expectation that the Rs may also seek to make the loan a permanent having hired the forward for the last 18 months.

Wells is said to be relaxed about his situation and open to the prospect of moving to Bristol City where he would be playing for a promotion-challenging club with excellent facilities.

From City's point of view they would be signing a Championship-ready striker who has five-and-a-half seasons of experience in the second tier, is strong, athletic, quick and a strong finisher.

Wells also provides a threat outside the box with his dribbling skills, touch and creativity.

As CEO Mark Ashton told Bristol Live to December when asked about January targets, "he's got to be someone who can make an impact and have an effect."

Charlton's Lyle Taylor remains another option for the Robins but after a failed part-exchange offer last week for the 29-year-old which Addicks manager Lee Bowyer described as "ridiculous", there isn't the same level of optimism, as with Wells, that there is a deal to be made.

Even if Taylor is in the same contract situation as Wells, and of a similar age and value, the financial impact of relegation means Charlton are less willing to let a key attacking player leave now, even if that means they lose him on a free in the summer.
