Barnsley are interested in bringing Ziyad Larkeche back to the club on loan from QPR before the transfer window closes, but they are competing with newly-promoted Bromley. The 23-year-old French and Algerian is no longer a preferred player under Julien Stéphan at Loftus Road and is not part of the manager's plans, with QPR willing to approve a departure. Former QPR boss Gareth Ainsworth is also interested in a reunion at Gillingham, though it is considered improbable the player will want to move to a League Two club. French clubs Annecy, Rodez, and Guingamp are also contenders to sign the defender on loan. Larkeche, who joined QPR in July 2023, made 20 appearances in the Championship last season. He has been capped 6 times by France at U20 level and has a current market value of €700k, according to Transfermarkt.
