Exclusive - QPR enter race with Spurs for Blackburn's Hoilett
QPR are set to go head-to-head with Tottenham for the services of Blackburn star Junior Hoilett.
Boss Steve Kean has admitted that the club will have to listen to offers for the 21-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
talkSPORT understands that Venky's, Blackburn's owners, want around £7m for the Academy product, who has been at the club since he was 13.
QPR and Spurs value Hoilett at only around £4m though and that leaves the Ewood Park club in a precarious position.
Rovers will have to decide whether to sell a star player who could help them beat the drop, or keep him and risk losing Hoilett for a fraction of the price at a summer tribunal.
If Neil Warnock beats Spurs to the Canadian star it could be a double Blackburn raid following QPR’s £5m bid for skipper Christopher Samba.
