1 Javier Chevanton in action for QPR

Harry Redknapp is considering extending the contract of ‘maniac’ striker Javier Chevanton.

The forward was brought in on a three-month deal when injuries struck Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora and his deal comes to a close in January.

The former Sevilla striker has made just one substitute appearance for the Rs, in the 2-0 win over Barnsley before the international break, but he has done enough in training to prove he still has something to offer.

“He has looked decent, I have been impressed with him to be honest. he looks like he has still got it and could score goals,” Redknapp said.

“We took a little gamble with him because we had no-one and he has been around.

“He’s 33 so we brought him in on a very small contract until January but he is up for it, he trains like a maniac, he looks sharp.

“He won the UEFA Cup with Sevilla a few years ago and he is a Uruguay international and he looks like he still has a lot to offer.”
