LuaLua will have to adapt – Holloway

Ian Holloway says Kazenga LuaLua must be more flexible if he is to establish himself as a permanent fixture in the QPR team.

LuaLua, on loan from Brighton, is on standby to play on the right-hand side against Hull on Saturday if Pawel Wszolek fails fitness test on a back problem.

And Holloway has warned the 26-year-old, who is more often deployed on the left, that he may have to shift out of his comfort zone to meet the needs of the team.

“We need to make sure that players can come in and fit into the new system, seamlessly,” boss Holloway told QPR’s website.

“Obviously Kazenga LuaLua is a different type of player to Pawel, but he is an attacking option for us.

“He is more comfortable on the left but we will need him to learn to play down the right side as well because he is going to want to get into the new team wherever he can, wherever he is needed.

“And that’s needed from players now more than ever because we are no longer allowed loans after the transfer window closes. That is going to have a huge impact on football.”
