Middlesbrough should revive interest in QPR players in the January transfer window.
Middlesbrough look in a strong position to mount a serious play-off push despite a slow start to the campaign.
Boro made a very poor start to the new Championship season, so much so that there was pressure mounting on the head of manager Michael Carrick.
However, the club was stuck by the former Manchester United coach, and they are now reaping the rewards as they return after the international break, sitting just two points behind the play-off places.
Obviously, focus will be on the next set of fixtures for Carrick, but he will also have an eye on what he plans to do in January. Boro are likely going to be looking to add to their squad, and if they are, they should look at reviving their interest in QPR player Chris Willock.
Were Middlesbrough interested in Chris Willock in the summer?
Given that Willock was approaching the last 12 months of his contract with QPR, many supporters had anticipated seeing him depart the team in the summer.
The Evening Standard said that there was interest in the player, as Boro was also discussing a deal for Willock during their negotiations to sign Seny Dieng.
Although Dieng reached an agreement with Middlesbrough, Willock never signed the contract and remained with the team past the September 1st deadline.
As mentioned, Willock was in the final year of his contract at the club in the summer, and with no extension agreed, he will enter the final six months when January arrives.
Boro are likely going to want to add to their squad in the winter window, and it could make sense for them to go back after Willock as they eye a play-off spot.
