Rangers have identified QPR’s Lyndon Dykes as a top striker target alongside Lawrence Shankland, according to HITC.
The online source reported [25 July] that the club are watching the Scotland duo closely this summer, with the Gers wanting to add another striker to the squad.
The Light Blues were linked with a move for the QPR ace last summer, according to the Daily Mail [19 June 2023], while Hearts’ Shankland has been linked for several transfer windows.

With Cyriel Dessers’ concerns in front of goal, plus Danilo’s struggles on the medical table, Philippe Clement should consider bringing another striker to Ibrox this summer.

Danilo, on the other hand, is a much-loved figure at Ibrox and has been sorely missed as he continues his rehabilitation with the medical staff, with his return now highly anticipated.
While Shankland looks like the obvious choice to bring in, having entered the final 12 months of his contract and scoring an eye-watering number of goals in the Scottish Premiership, there has been little movement.
The Gers continue to be linked with the 28-year-old striker but few advancements have been made in the transfer despite nearly all fans at Ibrox wanting to see the deal done.
With experience in Scotland, Dykes could certainly be an alternative option for Clement this summer, bringing plenty of knowledge with him after four years in the Championship
The 28-year-old has notched 36 goals and 12 assists during his time with QPR and could act as a much better target-man than Dessers can currently manage in the attacking third.
