QPR set to finally offload striker Sylla

QPR look set to offload Idrissa Sylla to his former club Zulte Waregem.

The Guinean striker, 28, played for the Belgian top-flight side prior to a move to Anderlecht, who sold him to Rangers in August 2016.

He has been surplus to requirements at Loftus Road for some time, with successive QPR managers omitting him despite a decent goalscoring record.

Sylla has scored 17 times for the R’s, having started just 28 league matches during his time in west London.

Rangers have tried to offload him during previous transfer windows without success, but a deal has been agreed for him to join Waregem on a free transfer and he is due to undergo a medical on Friday.

Sylla has six months remaining on his contract. His last QPR appearance came in the 3-0 home defeat against Bristol City in August.
