QPR confirm interest in West Ham ace Parker

Premier League newcomers QPR have confirmed their interest in West Ham United star Scott Parker.

The West Londoners, who were today taken over by Malaysian business tycoon Tony Fernandes, are keen to bolster their squad before the transfer window closes at the end of August.

Hammers midfielder Parker has been linked with an Upton Park departure all summer and has now emerged as a strong target for the R's with manager Neil Warnock saying he is certainly on their wishlist.

"We have a few days left to bring targets that we do really need at the club to take us where we want to be," Warnock told Sky Sports News.

"I don't think we should talk about players at other clubs at the moment. We should do it in the right way. (Parker) is just one of a number of options and we have different positions and different options.

"We'll try to get our number one targets in all those positions and if not we'll try to get the number two targets and so forth.

"We're actively looking at a number of players before the deadline closes. We are looking at quality players to bring to the club."
