QPR in talks with Swansea loan star?

Newly promoted Queens Park Rangers are in talks to bring in midfielder Jonathan de Guzman from Villarreal, according to The Daily Mail.

It is thought the Spanish side will want around £7million for de Guzman who has spent the last two seasons on loan at fellow Premier League club Swansea City.

De Guzman played 71 times for the Swans, scoring nine goals. He is also a regular for the Netherlands and was a part of their World Cup in Brazil.

Bolster

QPR boss Harry Redknapp is looking to bolster his squad with quality players in order to remain in the top-flight of English football.

The newspaper understands The R’s have been offered experienced Argentina midfielder Esteban Cambiasso, but Redknapp is searching for younger talent. The 33-year-old is a target for Premier League new boys Leicester City.

De Guzman has just returned to his club after his World Cup commitments and is wanting to sort out his future. Swansea manager Garry Monk had admitted his side are unlikely to re-sign the 26-year-old and will pursue other targets.

Experience

With the potential signing of de Guzman, QPR’s squad is starting to take shape ahead of their first game of the season against Hull City.

The R’s have recruited well with the £8million signing of Cardiff City captain Steven Caulker and former England and Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand, who joined on a free.

The defenders will link up with Chile World Cup star Mauricio Isla who comes to Loftus Road on a season-long loan from Juventus. Jordan Mutch, who was a shining light in Cardiff’s season last year has also joined for £6million.

Strikers

Redknapp has admitted his squad lacks striking options and will look to sign a forward before the season starts. Watford’s Troy Deeney has been heavily linked with The Hoops after an impressive goal tally in the Championship last time round.

Currently QPR have Charlie Austin and Bobby Zamora in the squad, as well as Loic Remy, however Remy’s future is uncertain after the France international spent last season on loan at Newcastle and saw a deal to Liverpool collapse.
