Four clubs keen on Patrick Bamford?

A quartet of clubs have reportedly made their interest known in signing Chelsea youngster Patrick Bamford on a season-long loan deal.

The 20-year-old has impressed during recent stints with the MK Dons and Derby County and as a result, his parent club are eager for him to gain experience of playing in the Premier League.

That has alerted Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp, who is eager to add the England Under-21 international to his striking options at Loftus Road, according to the Fulham and Hammersmith Chronicle.

However, should that deal fall through, the report adds that Championship sides Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brentford have informed Chelsea that they would incorporate the striker into their squads.

Also, a fourth unnamed club are in the running to loan Bamford, who is currently in Austria with the senior Chelsea squad.
