EXCLUSIVE By Wayne Veysey | Chief Correspondent Queens Park Rangers have made a swoop for Newcastle United right-back Danny Simpson, Goal.com can reveal. The newly-promoted Premier League club are ready to offer £1.5 million for the 24-year-old, who is currently locked in contract talks with Newcastle. Simpson has two years to run on his contract and is weighing up the offer of a new five-year deal that would tie him to St Jamesâ Park until 2016. QPR made a recent enquiry for the defender, who is highly rated by manager Neil Warnock and is viewed as the kind of Premier League-calibre player who can be relied upon in the clubâs return to the top-flight next season. Simpson has established himself as Newcastleâs first-choice right-back over the last two seasons after initially impressing in a loan spell with the club. The Manchester United academy graduate, who made only three first-team appearances at Old Trafford before loan spells with Royal Antwerp, Sunderland, Ipswich Town and Blackburn Rovers, has been tipped as a future England international in some quarters.
Decent player but can't see him leaving the Toon for us as he has just established himself as first choice RB up there.
