Fulham have received an approach from their London-rivals Queens Park Rangers to take midfielder Stefan Johansen on loan,

Johansen played 33🍒 times for the Cottagers as they won promotion to the top-flight last season.

In total, he has played 133 times for Fulham and also has 55 caps for Norway at internatio🐻nal level.

Mark Warburton will beꦆ keen to steer QPR away from the relegation zone and clearly wants reinforcements.

He has alre♍ady taken Charlie Austin back to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium and has now identified the Fulham man.

Johansen typica🌱lly operates in the centre of midfield, although he can🦋 play in a more defensive position in front of the back four.

Spotrac claim Johansen earns at Craven🧸 Cottage and QPR hope to pounceꦓ before the month is out.

Ful൲ham boss Parker would surelyꦿ relish the chance to bolster his own squad this month.

In order to do 🐓that, however, some pla♒yers might have to leave first.

Johansen arಌrived at F🐷ulham from Celtic in 2016 and he’s proved a decent acquisition.

At 30 he still has plenty left to offer and loaning hi💫m out looks like a wise decision from a Fulham perspective.

If the Cottagers were to go do🍃wn this season they might need Johansen back.

He is proven in the second-tier but it’s fair to say he needs regular🐻 first-team football right now.

L𓃲etting him go toꦛ QPR looks like the perfect move and would allow Johansen to gain some badly-needed match practice.
