QPR in transfer race for Championship striker.
QPR are one of five clubs reportedly vying for Swansea City striker Jerry Yates this summer. The 28-year-old scored 10 goals on loan at Derby County this season and is expected to leave Wales once his loan deal expires.
Pete O’Rourke, a transfer specialist, stated on social media that Blackburn Rovers, Hull City, QPR, and two MLS clubs are interested in signing Swansea City striker Jerry Yates this summer. Yates impressed on loan at Derby this season, contributing 14 goals, but is set to return to Swansea this summer.
QPR signed Zan Celar from FC Lugano last summer, but the 26-year-old has been injured this season, leaving Michael Frey, Alfie Lloyd, and Rayan Kolli to take on goal scoring responsibilities.
Yates would be an experienced Championship option, having scored 41 goals in 194 second-tier appearances. The Swansea City star previously played for Blackpool, Rotherham United, Swindon Town, and Carlisle United.

Ivanovic scored 12 goals in 37 league appearances this season, and he finished strong with six goals since April. Lazio, who competed in the Europa League this season, are currently fifth in Serie A and chasing a Champions League spot next season, level on points with the top four heading into the final two games of the season.
