Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has Damien McCrory on the QPR wish list - and all it needs is a better wage offer than modest Burton’s to secure the out-of-contract player.

The 26-year-old left sided defender cum wingback ticks all the Rs boxes of adaptability, goal-scoring, and affordability - as well as plugging the pesky left-back spot.

Rangers have gone down the route of plucking the best from lower leagues and polishing. And though Hoops have heralded a new dawn of watching the pennies, newly promoted Burton pay even less on average gates of 4,000.

Leicester loanee Paul Konchesky, James Perch and Jack Robinson all appeared on the Rs left last season with varying degrees of success.

Yun-suk-Young was allowed to leave at the end of his contract, so JFH needs at least one extra option as he rebuilds on a budget for next term.

Irishman McCrory helped Burton to the League Two title in 2014-15, and won international caps for his country at under-18 and under-19 levels.

His five goals in 36 appearances under Hasselbaink in the Burton League Two title campaign adds an extra incentive to reunite him with left midfielder Nasser El-Khayati who joined Rs in February for £350,000.
