A busy summer transfer window could await Queens Park Rangers as they look to build on what was a really good end to the 2020/21 season.

The second half of the campaign really did excite Hoops fans and though the play-offs were eventually out of reach, there's every hope that next season they are going to be challenging for the top six right from the off.

Indeed, they'll be hoping to keep all of the loan players that had such a fine impact in the second half of the year and then aiming to build further with some more good signings over the course of the summer months.

The transfer window is important to that, then, and whilst we wait to see who comes in and, indeed, who might join further from the January loan quartet, we run down the ten most valuable players we feel the club has right now, going on things like age, potential and quality...

Lee Wallace is in 10th on our list.

The wing-back played a lot of first-team football, particularly in the second half of the season, and his commitment and work-rate makes him a very good option to have down that left-hand side.

He had a few injury problems in the first portion of the campaign but the 3-5-2 system absolutely unleashed him and the assists soon followed from the left flank.

You need these players around the club to keep things going and it's no surprise he's been offered a new one-year deal.

Luke Amos is up next and could perhaps be even higher in a year's time once he has got back playing after a bad injury.

It was such a shame to see him ruled out for the whole of the 2020/21 campaign when he was as he was potentially on the brink of a really big season.

Even so, he's through the worst of it now and will be eyeing next year as an important one for him instead.

He's got bags of quality and it's easy to forget that he is a very good option that QPR can call upon.

Tom Carroll could also be higher on this list by the end of next season.

He was arguably QPR's best player in the first-half of the campaign and so, had this list been formed around then, he'd perhaps be even higher.

However, injury ended his campaign and the form of other players in the second half of the year leaves him in eighth, though you still cannot ignore the quality that he does possess.

A really clever midfielder on the ball, QPR fans will be looking forward to seeing him back next season in the middle of the park.

Jordy de Wijs looks set to be a really good signing for QPR.

Fitness problems delayed his debut for the Hoops after the January window but once he did get his chance he took it and excelled.

He's exactly the sort of brave, leading presence you want in the heart of a back-three and it makes sense that QPR have made his deal permanent.

Of course, after a full season at the club his value to Rangers could increase even further but we can only go on what we've seen so far and so it's a seventh-place ranking for him.

Yoann Barbet may not have got the plaudits of Rob Dickie this season but he still deserves lots of credit for his work in the QPR side.

A switch to a back-three really helped him out with him able to play on the left-hand side of the centre-back trio and influence things going forwards as well as at the back.

He's got a really sweet left foot on him, reads the game well along with his wing-back (often Lee Wallace) and is a real vocal presence - a real under-rated player in this QPR side and certainly important for next season.

Chris Willock edges out Barbet for a couple of reasons to kick off the top five.

For starters, Willock is younger and his potential is there for all to see, with him really growing in the second half of the campaign.

Secondly, there's always a bit of bias for attacking players and, in Willock's case, there are a lot of fans who are well behind him as a QPR player.

He's got lots of guile and clever movement and it's clear Mark Warburton feels he can become a real star for Rangers, so that's why he's in fifth.

Lyndon Dykes' second half to the season sees him ranking in fourth.

After the first half of the campaign he may have been lower down or even off of the list but you have to credit him for the way he's kept working hard, kept showing himself for the ball and, eventually, started to get goals not just from the penalty spot.

He ended this season in superb form and could be a real hit next season for Rangers provided he keeps his confidence up.

Charlie Austin deserves some credit for clearly breathing real belief into his strike partner - we'll have to see if he returns...

Ilias Chair had a really exciting season for QPR and he ranks third on our list.

He's a player everyone loves to watch. He glides past players, buzzes around the final third and regularly pulls off cute passes or gets shots away on target.

Obviously, he's still a bit raw but there is massive potential with him and next season could be huge - at the levels of Ebere Eze for example.

For that reason, and for the fact that he obviously had a good campaign this year, we're putting him in third place in this list.

Seny Dieng is second in our list but it is so close between him and our winner, who we'll get to in a second.

Dieng got his chance to become QPR's number one this season and how did he take it.

A vocal presence at the back, Dieng looks comfortable with the ball at his feet, catching aerial balls in a crowd, coming out and blocking shots and, for sure, saving long-range efforts that are destined for the top corner.

A superb 'keeper and one that is arguably the best in the Sky Bet Championship at the moment.

Rob Dickie edges out Dieng but, in fairness, as with the club's Player of the Year award, we could have got them to share it.

Dickie is exactly what you want from a modern centre-back.

He's good on the ball, he can bring it forwards and play but, crucially, he's still a very good defender and that is what matters most.

He's got great physicality, great positioning, and is a real leader - one of many to emerge at QPR this season.

Another big year from him in 21/22 and the interest in him could sky-rocket.
