QPR are interested in Middlesbrough’s Albert Adomah, possibly as part of an exchange deal involving Matt Phillips.

Rangers would consider a deal that includes former Harrow Borough winger Adomah, who has previously indicated that he would like to return to London and would welcome a move to Loftus Road.
Ghana international Adomah, 28, would be of interest to QPR even if Phillips joins another club rather than Boro.
Adomah, who had spells at Barnet and Bristol City before moving to Teesside in 2013, handed in a transfer request in August after falling out with Boro boss Aitor Karanka.
He has since re-established himself as a first-choice player, making 28 appearances for the Championship leaders this season and scoring six goals.
