Ghana's Albert Adomah who plays for Aston Villa

Ghana winger Albert Adomah is bewildered by English side Queens Park Rangers' inability to sign him as a youngster even though he is a fan of the club.

Adomah, who has repeated his adoration for Rangers, scored both goals as Aston Villa fought from a deficit to win 2-1 away on Saturday.

The international was targeted by QPR when he was a youngster while playing for their neighboring youth sides Chiswick, Harrow before grabbing a pro deal at Barnet.

Adomah, who grew up in South London where QPR are based, nearly joined his boyhood club in January last year when he was playing for Middlesbrough after Rangers expressed interest.

The Ghana star is unhappy that all the proposed deals for him to play for the club he supports did not materialize.

“Ask the scouts. I’m a local boy and played on the Astroturf pitch next door,” Adomah said.

“I’m a QPR fan. That’s why I didn’t really want to jump for joy when I scored, but I celebrated with our supporters at the end.

“QPR are a very strong team – obviously I know that because I follow them. So this was a great win.

“The majority of my friends, especially the local ones, support QPR, so I think I’ll get a lot of stick.”
