According to a report from West London Sport, Queens Park Rangers are considering making a second bid for Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna, after it was revealed that the R’s and Nottingham Forest had £3 million bids turned down by the Scottish club.

We reported here on The72 late last week that Championship pair Queens Park Rangers and Nottingham Forest had both had bids of £3 million turned down for Aberdeen centre-back Scott McKenna, with manager Derek McInnes keen to keep the Dons’ star defender at Pittodrie.

Now, with it emerging that Nottingham Forest are readying a second move to try and tempt Aberdeen in selling McKenna this summer, West London Sport has revealed that Queens Park Rangers are also considering another swoop for the Scotland international.

QPR are ready to offload German defender Toni Leistner and Mark Waburton is looking to bring in another defender, with McKenna seemingly his number one target. While Warburton is determined to bring the 22-year-old to Loftus Road with added funds now available, they could face an uphill battle for his signature.

Aberdeen are in no position where they would feel the need to offload McKenna and are determined to keep him at the club, given the important role he has played in recent seasons since coming through the academy.

The 22-year-old has become a mainstay in the Aberdeen side since coming through the youth academy and making his breakthrough into the club’s senior side. Having spent time on loan with Ayr United and Alloa Athletic, McKenna has gone on to play 80 times for the club, scoring five goals and providing a single assist along the way.

It awaits to be seen how much Aberdeen are demanding for McKenna and whether or not Forest or QPR lodge increased bids or start looking elsewhere, especially with the new season starting this weekend.
