QPR may face a battle to keep hold of goalkeeper Alex Smithies if Play-Off finalists Huddersfield Town secure promotion to the top flight.

Smithies, who was part of the Terriers' youth set-up before moving to Loftus Road in 2015, was the R's stand out performer last season, and could be tempted if an opportunity arises to ply his trade in the Premier League.

Huddersfield will take on Reading in the Sky-Bet CHampionship Play-Off final on Bank Holiday Monday, May 29.

It remains to be seen whether QPR would be open to discussions for a player who is deemed to be one of their most important players going into the new season.

The QPR goalkeeper was an ever-present for the club last season and signed a new long-term deal in February which runs until 2020.
