QPR set to complete loan signing of Leeds forward Roberts

By

QPR are set to complete the signing of Leeds United striker Tyler Roberts on a season-long loan.

Rangers recently expressed an interest in Wales international Roberts, 23, and a deal has now been agreed for him to move to west London.


There is likely to be an option for Rangers to sign him on a permanent deal for around £4m if the club win promotion this season.

He joined Leeds from West Brom in January 2018 and has since made 101 league appearances, with almost half coming as a substitute, scoring nine goals.

QPR are primarily looking at potential loan deals and it is so far unclear which players Premier League clubs are going to make available, but Roberts was identified as a potentially viable addition.

The R’s are also keen to add a right-back to their squad during the current transfer window, with Millwall’s Danny McNamara their top target. 

They have so far signed centre-back Jake Clarke-Salter and left-back Kenneth Paal on free transfers.
