"Didn't work out" – Agent explains why client won't join QPR despite travelling to London

Nigerian winger Augustine Chike Mbah failed QPR's trial after the club decided they needed defenders instead; he has since joined Serbian side OFK Beograd.

Augustine Chike Mbah, a 19-year-old Nigerian winger from Lagos-based Bilda Football Academy, travelled to London for a trial with Queens Park Rangers earlier this year but was not offered a contract. QPR manager Julien Stéphan's side opted against signing him, with agent Abiola Dauda explaining the decision: "It didn't work out because they were looking for players in different positions. Most of the players they selected were defenders."

Mbah has since completed a move to Serbian club OFK Beograd on September 11th and has been included in their U19 squad, recording one goal in six appearances totalling 411 minutes. QPR brought in six players during the summer window, with only Calum Ward arriving as a permanent transfer; the club currently has Koki Saito as their only recognised left winger.
