Gallen surprised QPR did not go for Michu

Former QPR striker Kevin Gallen is sorry to see Michu leave Swansea City for Napoli.

Gallen believes QPR should've moved for the Spaniard.

"It's difficult with the money situation. There's a big premium on top level strikers," Gallen told the Daily Express.

"Top strikers cost top money. I was surprised Michu went to Napoli.

"I don't know if QPR were in the running for him but I think he would have been a great signing. He's strong, he can score, he can head it in both boxes.

"I've seen him a few times and I've been impressed with him. He would have been good for QPR. He could have even gone to a top six side.

"I think he's a good player and he's at a good age. We need a couple of strikers and with the scouting staff we have, they have an eye on a few."
