Jordan Cousins is on the QPR radar - but the Charlton midfielder has been rated at £3million by his club.

Only one other Addick has a contract until 2019, hence the big bucks demand from a Valley down in the dumps.

But fans and club want to fight tooth and nail to keep him - and this is why.

He has been Charlton player of the year twice in a row

In fact, Cousins seems to be the one constant in a sea of turmoil affecting a club where fans frequently demonstrate against the owners - a club in which the 22-year-old has endured/enjoyed, delete where applicable, seven managers and an eighth twice, but still played to a terrifically high standard.

He scores tremendous goals

We'll let the action, below, do the talking.

Cousins is a tremendous athlete

So much so, he was willing to put in extra summer training with the former British Indoor Champion - the story here courtesy of our colleagues at the South London Press.

He has huge amount of energy and endurance, as anybody at the unhappy Valley will tell you.

Another telling thing about Cousins’s athletic skills

First drill up after the summer break, Charlton players were required to sprint around a pitch at the training ground in New Eltham as a means of testing fitness.

Coaches keep a record of times clocked, and Cousins not only beat the existing record going back some years - he went and did it again in the next run.

His best position is central midfield

If QPR can get him to sign on the dotted line, not only will it offer stiff competition for those who went before last season at Loftus Road.

It will also provide the power and pace that gaffer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink demands under a new ‘high press’ regime that demands Hoops are in opposition faces from first whistle.
