Andy Rinomhota from Reading to QPR: Is it a good potential move? Would he start? What does he offer?

Queens Park Rangers have tabled an offer to out-of-contract Reading midfielder Andy Rinomhota, according to a report from Bristol Live.

The 25-year-old is currently a man in demand with QPR not the only side in the race to secure his services, with the Royals offering him a new deal and Cardiff City and Stoke also attempting to secure an agreement for the former non-league man.

His existing terms at the Select Car Leasing Stadium are due to expire within the next week and with his current side unable to offer him a lucrative contract because of the EFL business plan they remain under, this has allowed other sides to try and tempt him away from Berkshire.

Graduating through Paul Ince’s side’s academy, he could potentially be set to end his long-term stay in the Royal county and Michael Beale’s side are in contention to lure him to the English capital.

According to yesterday’s update from journalist Adrian Kajumba, he is close to joining Cardiff, with the Bluebirds already enjoying a productive summer in the Welsh capital.

With this deal yet to be sealed though, we take a look at this potential deal from the R’s perspective as we weigh up whether this would be a good addition, whether he would start and delve into what he would offer.

Is it a good potential move?

On a free transfer, this would be an excellent addition for the west London outfit, especially with the amount of experience he has under his belt.

It could certainly be argued that they need to prioritise other options, with another centre-back and left-back/wing-back required, a right-back being needed if Albert Adomah doesn’t play there and a revamp of their forward department likely to be on the agenda following Charlie Austin and Andre Gray’s departures.
