QPR, Coventry City battling for 24-year-old midfielder
QPR are battling Coventry City for KVC Westerlo midfielder Nicolas Madsen, according to West London Sport.
QPR and Coventry City are both in the market for more new signings before the window slams shut later this month.
The R’s and the Sky Blues have until 11pm on August 30th to get their last bits of business done, and it seems a midfielder is wanted by both Championship sides.
Both tasted defeat on the opening day of the season but Mark Robins’ side bounced back with a win over Bristol City. Marti Cifuentes and co meanwhile fought back to claim a draw against an impressive-looking Sheffield United.
Now though, it is claimed QPR and Coventry City could be set to tussle in the transfer market.
West London Sport writes that both sides are keen on midfielder Nicolas Madsen, who currently plays in Belgium for Jupiler Pro League side KVC Westerlo.
The 24-year-old is open to a move to England, the report adds. It’s the R’s who have made an approach for his signature as Cifuentes targets the signing of at least one more midfielder.
Madsen has two years left on his Westerlo deal having signed from FC Midtjylland in the summer of 2022.
More on Madsen
QPR and Coventry City fans can be forgiven if there’s little known about Madsen. However, he could prove to be a really solid addition to one of the Championship duo’s midfield ranks this summer.
The former Danish youth international is a tall player able to operate as a central, defensive or attacking midfielder. That level of versatility and flexibility would make him a valuable player to have in the middle of the park.
After time with Midtjylland and in Holland on loan with Heerenveen, Madsen has become a star in Belgium. He has a goal and an assist to his name in four games so far this season.
Last year was a very impressive one from him, returning 14 goals in 35 games across all competitions.
