QPR look set to sign Ashby on loan

QPR look set to sign right-back Harrison Ashby on loan from Newcastle before the transfer window closes on Friday.

The 22-year-old joined Newcastle from West Ham for £3m in January last year.

He is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Magpies and was on loan at Swansea City last season.


Born in Milton Keynes, Ashby was on Chelsea’s books before joining West Ham and is a Scotland Under-21 international.

Rangers head coach Marti Cifiuentes has been keen for the club to strengthen at right-back.

Hevertton Santos was signed earlier this summer but Cifuentes has continued to deploy Jimmy Dunne in the role.
