Queens Park Rangers Football Club are pleased to confirm the signing of Ghanaian international striker Patrick Agyemang.
The 27 year-old striker has penned a four-and-a-half year contract at Loftus Road, after the Club agreed an undisclosed fee with Preston North End for his signature.
Agyemang - who will wear squad number 17 - trained with his new team-mates for the first time this morning.
The Ghanaian, who made his name during a successful spell at Wimbledon, joined North End from Gillingham in November 2004 in a deal worth £300,000.
Despite injury curtailing the majority of his 2006/07 campaign, his scoring stats were highly commedable, with the powerful front-man bagging an impressive seven goals in just 10 starts for the Whites. QPR

Ghanaian striker Patrick Agyemang has completed a £350,000 move to Queens Park Rangers after agreeing personal terms with the Loftus Road club.
Agyemang has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Hoops after the North End board accepted a bid from the London club.
The Walthamstow born hitman was out of contract at Deepdale in the summer and had expressed a desire to move back to his London roots, the Lilywhites have managed to recoup the £350,000 they paid for Agyemang when he signed from Gillingham in November 2004. The fee could rise a further £100,000 dependent on various add-ons.
Agyemang made 135 appearances for PNE, the majority of those as a substitute, scoring a total of 21 goals. Preston

Patrick Agyemang ended a long wait for Preston North End fans when he finally signed for the Club in November 2004, after numerous years linking him with a move to Deepdale.
Agyemang joined North End in a deal in the region of £300,000 from Gillingham after spending less than a year at Priestfield.
The pacy and powerful forward made his name at Wimbledon, where he came through the ranks and went on to make 116 appearances, scoring 22 goals.
He went on to make 31 appearances in his first season with the Whites, chipping in with four goals in all competitions, before netting six times in the following campaign.
His fine form earned him a recall to the Ghana squad, three years after his last and only other appearance, and he went on to pick up three caps for his country, but was left out of the final 23 man squad for the World Cup.
Injury curtailed much of his 2006/07 campaign, but his statistics were still highly impressive, bagging seven goals in just 10 starts. QPR
