Sources: QPR Leading Arsenal And Rotherham In Pursue Of Another Star
Arsenal defender Ryan Alebiosu is a target for Championship duo Queens Park Rangers and Rotherham United, TEAMtalk understands.
The Premier League giants are willing to listen to offers for Alebiousu, who can play as a right-back or on the right wing, and the news has alerted a number of clubs including QPR and Rotherham.
The 21-year-old spent last season out on loan at Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock and made 29 appearances in all competitions for Killie.
Alebiosu also had a spell out on loan at Crewe Alexandra in the second half of the 2021/22 season in order to gain some first-team experience, managing six appearances in League One.
The London-born defender, who has been likened to Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka because of his style of play, has come through the ranks at Arsenal, who snapped him up at the age of eight.
Alebiosu has yet to make his first-team debut for the Gunners, but he has been named on the bench on several occasions.
The attacking full-back is unlikely to break into Mikel Arteta’s plans at the Emirates Stadium and the club and player are mutually ready to move on.
Cedric set to leave Arsenal too
Alebiosu is not the only right-back who could be on his way out of Arsenal this summer. Recently, TEAMtalk learned that Cedric Soares is looking to leave the club and has caught the attention of various suitors.
Cedric, who spent part of last season on loan at Fulham, is of interest to Villarreal, three top clubs in Portugal and a number of Premier League teams.
At right-back, Arsenal have added Jurrien Timber to their squad, although his role could be a fluid one. In addition to the new recruit from Ajax, they can already call upon Benjamin White and Takehiro Tomiyasu in similar territory.
Therefore, both Cedric – who was left out of Arsenal’s squad for their pre-season US tour – and Alebiosu seem to be surplus to requirements.

QPR transfer news latest: Reading FC deal R’s blow, plenty of rival interest in Sunderland player, Sinclair Armstrong stance
Here is all the latest transfer news coming out of QPR Football Club.
QPR has been relatively quiet in the transfer market, with three out of four summer signings so far free agents.
Reading FC have won the race to sign midfielder Lewis Wing, who had been without a club since leaving Wycombe Wanderers.
QPR, Stoke City, and Preston North End are interested in signing Sunderland midfielder Lynden Gooch, who has one year remaining on his contract.
Queens Park Rangers get their 2023/24 Championship season under way in two weeks.
Ahead of the season beginning, the R’s have been relatively quiet in the transfer market so far, with three out of the four summer signings coming in as free agents.
There is still uncertainty surrounding the futures of some of their key players, but even without their departures, Gareth Ainsworth will be keen to further strengthen his side.
As the season is only around the corner, we could expect some movement in the coming days or weeks at QPR.
With that said, we have taken a look at all the latest transfer news regarding QPR Football Club…
It was reported earlier this week by West London Sport, that QPR were looking to strengthen their midfield this summer and Lewis Wing was an option the club were considering.
However, it was then reported that Reading FC had joined the race for the free agent, according to Pete O’Rourke.
It has now been confirmed that the Royals have signed the 28-year-old, who had been without a club since leaving Wycombe Wanderers last month.
Wing enjoyed a fine campaign for the Chairboys last season, as he netted nine times and grabbed five assists in 44 league One games.
QPR interested in Lynden Gooch
QPR, along with Stoke City and Preston North End, are interested in signing Sunderland midfielder Lynden Gooch, as reported by Sunderland Nation (Sports Illustrated).
Gooch is Sunderland’s longest-serving player, joining the club at age 16 on a two-year scholarship.
The American has played nearly 250 games for the Black Cats, but has entered a crucial period as he’s got one year remaining on his contract at the club.
The 27-year-old has found himself down the pecking order on Wearside and with the club stating his deal won’t be extended beyond next summer, while he remains part of the first team, Sunderland won’t stand in his way if an offer were to come in.
The three clubs mentioned are believed to be interested in a deal.
QPR are said to have received numerous transfer inquiries for Sinclair Armstrong this summer, as reported by West London Sport.
The 20-year-old started his career in Ireland, playing for Shamrock Rovers, but in 2020 he made a move to England, joining QPR.
The young forward has played 24 times for the R’s, but is yet to grab his first senior goal for the club.
Since linking up with the Championship outfit, Armstrong has had two loan spells in non-league, Torquay United and Aldershot Town.
While you could be forgiven for thinking another loan is on the cards, West London Sport believe Ainsworth is keen to keep hold of the striker despite interest from elsewhere.
Sheffield Wednesday and Lincoln City had previous interest in the 20-year-old in January, it remains to be seen if they still hold that interest. But, even if that’s not the case teams in England are seemingly keen on a deal for Armstrong this summer.
