QPR close to sealing double swoop for Leroy Fer and Eduardo Vargas | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Queens Park Rangers are closing in on two signings with Eduardo Vargas due to have a medical on Wednesday ahead of a season-long loan from Napoli, following Norwich City midfielder Leroy Fer’s medical on Tuesday morning before a £7m transfer. | |
The west Londoners’ Premier League return did not go to plan on Saturday when they fell to a 1-0 home defeat to Hull City, after which manager Harry Redknapp spoke of his desire to sign two midfielders and a striker. | |
QPR have worked hard since then to strengthen the squad, with deals understood to be close. Fer, a Netherlands international, is believed to be close to a move for a fee in the region of £7m from Norwich. The 24-year-old is expected to sign a three-year deal at Loftus Road, where he looks set to be joined by Chile international Vargas. | |
The Napoli striker has attracted interest from across Europe after a fine World Cup, but QPR are believed to have won the race to his signature. It is understood Vargas will join on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent move. | |
The deal would see the attacker link up with compatriot Mauricio Isla, who joined on loan from Juventus earlier in the month. |
