Scowen agrees personal terms with QPR

Josh Scowen has agreed personal terms with QPR.

The midfielder, 24, is available on a Bosman free transfer and looks set to complete a move to Loftus Road when his Barnsley contract expires at the end of the month.

Rangers recently offered a contract to Scowen, who is keen to move this summer.

He has accepted the offer, paving the way for a return south after two-and-a-half years with Barnsley.

The Hertfordshire-born Scowen joined the Tykes from Wycombe in January 2015 and has made 96 league appearances for them, scoring 10 goals.

QPR boss Ian Holloway wants revamp his squad this summer and Scowen’s expected arrival comes as a number of midfielders are in line to leave.

Rangers are in talks with Blackburn over a potential deal for Ben Gladwin to join the Lancashire club.

A permanent move for Ariel Borysiuk also looks on the cards, which Michael Doughty has attracted interest from several clubs, including Peterborough United.

Gladwin, Doughty and Borysiuk were all left out of the R’s squad for a pre-season trip to Portugal, as was Olamide Shodipo, who is recovering from injury.

Josh Bowler is with the squad as talks between QPR and Everton continue over the potential sale of the 18-year-old winger.
