QPR have confirmed the signing of Luke Freeman from Bristol City.

The 24-year-old midfielder has signed a three-year deal at Loftus Road, signing for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £300,000.

Freeman joins former Manchester United youngster Sean Goss in a new look midfield for Ian Holloway’s side and Rangers transfer business is likely to continue in the coming hours after they agreed a deal worth up to £1million with Fulham for striker Matt Smith.

Former Arsenal youth product Freeman has made 21 appearances for Bristol City this season, scoring twice.

Holloway told the QPR website: “I’ve been a great admirer of Luke’s for a long time. I’ve seen a lot of him as he’s gone from strength to strength at Bristol City, so I’m really pleased he’s on board now.

“His creativity is something I think we’ll really feel the benefits of – he’s got a wand of a left foot.

“He can play in three or four positions too, which is really beneficial for us.

“I think he’s a leader on the pitch too because of the way he always wants the ball – and I think QPR fans will love him for that because he will wear the Hooped shirt with pride.

“For me, he ticks all the boxes in terms of what I want. He’ll give QPR absolutely everything.”

Freeman said: “The manager and Les [Ferdinand, director of football] really sold the club to me and what they want to do here over the coming years.”

“When two men who have played for the club speak to you about what they want to achieve in the future, you can’t help but listen – and their passion for QPR really shone through.

“As a new player coming into a new club, that’s fantastic to hear.”
