Taiwo Joins QPR
Queens Park Rangers, (QPR) have agreed a six months loan deal with AC Milan for left-back Taye Taiwo as new manager Mark Hughes closes in on his first signing at Loftus Road.
Taiwo has been heavily linked with a Premier League move and QPR have won the race for his signature.
Rangers have settled on a fee for the Nigeria international, who is yet to agree personal terms and is set to undergo a medical in West London.
The 26-year-old defender joined Milan last summer from Marseille, making four Serie A starts for the Rossoneri this season and three in the Champions League.
Taiwo had been linked with Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United ahead of his summer move, while Arsenal are thought to be monitoring him this month.
Hughes is keen to strengthen his backline after succeeding Neil Warnock as manager, with Chelsea stopper Alex and Manchester City’s Nedum Onuoha also on his radar.
