QPR appear to cool interest in keeper Lewis

QPR appear to have cooled their interest in Peterborough goalkeeper Joe Lewis.

The former England Under-21 international, whose Posh contract expires next summer, has been training with the R’s ahead of a possible move to west London.

But Rangers’ initial approach to Peterborough was made soon after Paddy Kenny was ruled out for several weeks with an injury, and since then stand-in keeper Radek Cerny’s displays have surpassed expectations.

And with Kenny having made a swift recovery, QPR manager Neil Warnock must decide whether Lewis – whose first-team chances at Loftus Road might be limited – would be a worthwhile signing.

“I spoke to Peterborough but when we agreed it, in fairness I didn’t expect Radek Cerny to play like he has done,” Warnock admitted.

“It’s a certain type that’s willing to come as a back-up. Most keepers want to come as number one.

“I like Joe but we’ll have to see what develops over the next week or so. We’re looking at a few keepers.”
