According to The Sun, West Ham United attacker Marcus Browne is a loan target for a number of Championship clubs, and Queens Park Rangers should ensure that they are in the hunt for the Englishman.

What’s the word, then?

Browne is currently on loan at Oxford United, and has been in excellent form for the League One outfit during the first half of the 2018-19 campaign.

Indeed, the 21-year-old has scored seven times and registered four assists in 23 appearances for Karl Robinson’s side in all competitions this term.

Oxford want to keep Browne for the remainder of the season, but according to The Sun, West Ham are considering cutting the loan short in January before sending him to a Championship club for the remainder of the campaign.

West Bromwich Albion, Sheffield United, Stoke City, Derby County and Bristol City have all been credited with an interest.

However, QPR should ensure that they are in the hunt for a player who is capable of starring in the second tier of English football.

What is Browne’s history?

Browne belongs to West Ham, coming through the youth system with the Hammers before making his first-team debut in August 2016.

The attacker has not been seen in a West Ham shirt since debuting in the Europa League, but seems to be getting some valuable first-team action at Oxford.

Former Hammers defender Rio Ferdinand recently drew attention to Browne’s form, and the pair are regularly seen in contact on social media.

Browne, who has scored 11 times in 45 games for West Ham’s Under-23 side, will certainly feel that he can make the step into the Championship.

And QPR, who are only five points off the playoff positions in the second tier, should make a strong play for the versatile attacker at the start of 2019.
