QPR are looking to add another central defender to their ranks with  free agent Aden Flint said to be targets for the R’s, as per Darren Witcoop.

Gareth Ainsworth will be hoping to keep QPR out of trouble this season following a close call with relegation last time around. Ainsworth is yet to convince many fans at Loftus Road, but with the season just around the corner he will need the full backing if he wants any chance of success this time around.

QPR have made several new additions so far this summer with the likes of Morgan Fox and Asmir Begovic added to their squad, however there are still question marks over whether it’s enough to keep them out of danger this season.

It appears defence is a priority as things stand, and Cook and Flint are the latest two names reported to be on QPR’s shortlist this summer.

Strong additions

Flint, 34, and Cook, 32, both would add a wealth of experience to the club should a move come off this summer.

Given the circumstances of both, it doesn’t appear like Flint or Cook would cost QPR that much this summer. That makes them ideal targets for QPR given where the club is at and considering Ainsworth’s approach to the game it would be handy to have some experience and knowhow in the backline.

This coming season definitely won’t be straightforward for QPR, but it will be hoped they just find a way to get over the line this time around.

They begin their campaign this Saturday with a clash against Watford at Vicarage Road.
