Queens Park Rangers 'consider £1.5m Alex Smithies swoop'

Queens Park Rangers are reportedly lining up a £1.5m move for Huddersfield Town keeper Alex Smithies.

The Hoops are believed to be looking for a replacement shot-stopper after they sold Alex McCarthy to Crystal Palace.

Meanwhile, Rob Green is also being linked with a move to West Ham United, although the ex-England international is expected to stay at Loftus Road.

According to the Daily Mail, the R's are now planning a bid for Smithies, who signed a new deal with his hometown club in February.

Smithies has racked up almost 250 appearances for the Terriers since making his debut in 2007.

Rangers have also made a bid for Southend United keeper Daniel Bentley.
