QPR consider signing son of Chelsea legend

QPR are giving a trial to Henry Wise, the teenage son of former Chelsea favourite Dennis Wise.

West London Sport reports that Wise, 18, is the latest youngster to join the R’s on trial ahead of a possible move to Loftus Road.

Young Wise, a midfielder, is currently a third-year scholar at Derby County.

He was on QPR’s books before being offered a move to Arsenal four years ago. Wise subsequently moved on to Derby’s academy.

His father, who was an avid R’s fan as a boy, became a cult figure during an 11-year spell at Chelsea, during which he won 21 England caps.

He famously held Henry, then a baby, in his arms while lifting the FA Cup after Chelsea’s victory against Aston Villa at Wembley in 2000.

QPR have a policy of picking up young players who are looking for a second chance in the game after being released by other clubs.

Exciting forward Ebere Eze recently broke into the England Under-20 squad having impressed since being snapped up after being released by Millwall in 2016.

The likes of Charlie Owens, Aramide Oteh, Charlie Rowan and Lewis Walker have also been given deals by QPR after being released by other clubs.
