QPR, Charlton Athletic set sights on versatile League One forward.

QPR and Charlton Athletic are interested in Peterborough United forward Malik Mothersille, according to Football League World.

QPR and Charlton Athletic are both preparing for Championship action in the 2025/26 season. The Addicks have joined the R’s in the second division, having defeated Leyton Orient in the League One play-off final to secure a spot in the Championship for next season.

Both will have prospective signings on their radar now that the summer transfer season has begun, and it appears like the Hoops and Charlton Athletic may compete for one acquisition. According to Football League World, QPR and Charlton Athletic are both interested in signing forward Malik Mothersille. The Peterborough United star is entering the final year of his contract with the League One club and might be sold as a result. The 21-year-old has piqued the curiosity of both parties, although they have yet to confirm their involvement as of the time of writing.

Posh signed a one-year agreement to keep Mothersille on board beyond this summer, but he might still leave as they try to avoid passing up another opportunity to cash in on a valuable asset.

Mothersille’s Best Season

Mothersille, a rumoured QPR and Charlton Athletic target, had a steady debut season with Peterborough United after moving from Chelsea in 2023/24. He primarily played as a striker, scoring six goals and providing five assists in 36 games across all competitions. However, the Jamaican reached a new level last season, drawing admiring glances from the division above.

Mothersille, who primarily played as a left winger, striker, and offensive midfielder, scored 16 goals and assisted 10 times in 57 games for Posh in all competitions. It was the best season of his career thus far, and it could lead to a promotion.

A good alternative for QPR or Charlton Athletic.

Mothersille, who became as a true prospect last season, might be a good fit for QPR or Charlton Athletic. He has demonstrated that he can play a variety of roles successfully, but at the age of 21, he still has space for growth. However, Peterborough United has demonstrated time and again that they will not be pushed to sell their great players on the cheap. That position may soften this summer after Kwame Poku, Hector Kyprianou, and Ricky-Jade Jones left on free transfers. Numerous attacking targets will be on the radars of the West and South London teams, so if Mothersille becomes too expensive, they will shift their attention elsewhere.
