The QPR youngsters who will be eyeing a breakthrough season in 22/23

Queens Park Rangers are hoping for a strong finish to their Sky Bet Championship campaign.

Under boss Mark Warburton, the R’s have threatened the automatic promotion places at times this season, but in recent weeks, have dropped outside of the play-off positions.

QPR are currently two points behind Blackburn Rovers in sixth.

If they remain in the Championship for next campaign, though, it is more likely that their younger players will be given first team opportunities next season.

With that being said, we picked out two QPR players we think should be targeting a breakthrough campaign for the club in 2022/23.

At 23 years old, we think Conor Masterson should be aiming for a first-team QPR breakthrough next season.

Masterson has spent the season on loan in League One this campaign, first with Cambridge United and now with Gillingham.

So far, the centre-back has made 28 league appearances, earning himself a respectable WhoScored rating of 6.70.

With the likes of Jimmy Dunne and Rob Dickie ahead of him, he has a big job on his hands to break into the starting eleven, but after some impressive performances in League One this campaign, he should have his sights set on making the step up in levels in 2022/23.

Another who should be doing that is forward Charlie Kelman.

Since joining from Southend United in 2020, Kelman has already made 15 first-team appearances for QPR, showing good potential in glimpses.

He spent the first half of the season under Steve Evans at Gillingham, though, and failed to win him over, returning to the club before Christmas.

When Evans lost his job and Neil Harris took over, though, Kelman returned to the Gills.

His goalscoring has not been pr0lific by any means, having scored just two all season, however
