For now, he joins the U23s side, battling for that all-important call up to the first team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0It may not be long, however, before we see the young forward take to the famous pitch of Loftus Road in his new colours after more than proving his capabilities whilst at Southend where he scored six goals in 35 appearances.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Was Said?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qpr.co.uk\/news\/club-news\/charlie-kelman-completes-qpr-switch\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Speaking to the club website<\/a>, Kelman said: &#8220;It\u2019s exciting to be able to join a great club like QPR who also develop players.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cI\u2019ve got a lot still to prove, but I\u2019m excited to do that \u2013 coming in and playing with and against better players will only help me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cI want to enjoy it \u2013 I love playing football and I love scoring goals. Hopefully I can now make the step up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe way the club are developing players was a big attraction for me. You look at Ebere Eze and he&#8217;s now in the Premier League playing for Crystal Palace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe club now have a track record of bringing players through and hopefully I\u2019m the next one on that list.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">QPR&#8217;s head of coaching, Chris Ramsay, also expressed his delight at the completion of the deal,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qpr.co.uk\/news\/club-news\/charlie-kelman-completes-qpr-switch\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> saying<\/a>: &#8220;Charlie is an exciting, young player who has already sampled first-team football.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cWith the coaching staff we have at QPR, we believe that we can get him ready for the Championship and make him fulfil his potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cHe\u2019s got an eye for goal, which is obviously something that is difficult to teach, and he can be a target man. Obviously, he needs to develop his skills.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"uCrb7tXcSNRiaomZUOFg4w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1129428655\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'uCrb7tXcSNRiaomZUOFg4w',sig:'p8_Vw1CvworWdu9RnYzv2980kt_dfSNIP3H0fApYpR8=',w:'594px',h:'407px',items:'1129428655',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18-year-old forward Charlie Kelman has officially completed a move to Queens Park Rangers, signing a three year deal for an undisclosed fee.
