QPR set to keep Dieng and let Kelly leave

QPR are set to keep Seny Dieng and allow Liam Kelly to leave the club.

Arsenal, West Ham and Crystal Palace have all been linked with goalkeeper Dieng, as have Leeds United.



But West London Sport reports that Rangers have so far received no firm enquiries for him and expect him to stay, so are instead prepared to let Kelly move on.

Scotland international keeper Kelly has been on loan at SPL side Motherwell, who are keen to keep him.

West London Sport reports that he is reluctant to return to Loftus Road to be on the bench and that QPR are therefore looking to bring in another back-up keeper this summer.

It means the impressive Dieng will have seen off challenges from both Kelly and Joe Lumley.

He leapfrogged them both to become Rangers’ first-choice keeper and impressed with a series of fine performances.

Lumley, who was out of contract, rejected a new deal in order to recently sign for Middlesbrough.

And now Kelly, who has two years remaining on his contract, is also set to move on in search of first-team football.

Kelly has made just 19 Championship appearances since being signed for £50,000 from Livingston in 2019.
