Tottenham have one of the youngest squads in the Premier League and their academy continues to produce players who would walk into most sides in the country.
Mauricio Pochettino is developing a reputation for bringing youngsters through his squad and into the England setup, but he can only have so many starlets at a time and it might be best for some to look for a loan move to a side like QPR.
Alex Pritchard has already made his loan move in January and others are likely to follow suit as the loan window opens for Championship clubs.
Pochettino may be reluctant to let players who have featured in the first-team could out on loan as they go into a busy period with the return of the Europa League later this month.
The Lilywhites will be eyeing up a title challenge in the remainder of the season, but these youngsters must put their own career first and look for first-team football.
Here are FIVE players that QPR could be looking at…
Joshua Onomah
Onomah has been a central figure in the successful Spurs academy and captained the under-18s side in their youth cup run a couple of seasons ago.
Despite having featured a couple of times this season, the attacking midfielder is a season or two away from forcing his way into the starting XI and has all the strengths to be a dangerous force in the Championship.
Harry Winks
Winks made his first team debut in the Europa League in 2014, but has failed to push on to compete with the more experienced players in the first team squad.
The central midfield man featured strongly in the under-21s last season and is ready to make the move for more minutes in senior football despite being overlooked by Pochettino.
QPR’s side could do with an injection centrally and there is no better solution than Winks.
Clinton Njie
Njie has everything that you would associate with a successful Championship attacking player.
The former Lyon man has a great turn of pace and would be a good foil for Washington in QPR’s forward line. Son, Chadli and Lamela are all ahead of Njie in the battle for the wide positions in Pochettino’s side so Spurs might consider a loaning out their summer signing.
Tom Carroll
Carroll has made his way into Pochettino’s first-team plans on a more regular basis of late, yet their could be an argument for QPR to push to bring the talented midfielder back on loan.
Dembele, Alli, Bentaleb and Dier are all likely to make their way back above the diminutive youngster in the pecking order and regular minutes are crucial to his development.
Kyle Walker-Peters
Walker-Peters is adept at both left and right full-back and the youngster made his senior debut during Spurs’ pre-season tour of Asia.
Having become a regular in the under-21s, the youngster must be considering a loan move to begin his career at senior level and QPR would be a good starting point.
