Queens Park Rangers are tracking Dundee United star Stuart Armstrong.
The Scotland under-21 international was watched at Tannadice on Saturday by a Loftus Road scout, and he will have left Tayside with a glowing report for manager Harry Redknapp.
Armstrong produced arguably his best performance of the season in the 5-1 rout of Motherwell, scoring one and helping set-up others.
Team-mate Ryan Dow knows that United will have a fight on their hands to keep Armstrong at the club beyond the summer.
He said: “Stuart is a brilliant player and I’m sure there will be a number of clubs interested in him. Hopefully he can stay with us. There will always be clubs sniffing around him, though, as he’s such a good player.”
Meanwhile, United have confirmed that John Bennett has rejoined the Tannadice board.
Bennett resigned as a United director in February of last year after giving 11 years of service.
Now the club have welcomed back the retired property development expert, who still acts as a consultant for local company J&E Shepherd.
As one key figure returns, so another leaves.
Company secretary Spence Anderson is retiring after 24 years at Tannadice and was given a round of applause during Saturday’s win over Motherwell.
United have also announced two off-field appointments. John Taylor has been appointed head of football administration/company secretary, while Eleanor Whitby has taken up the new post of head of marketing and events.
