Dutch goalkeeper Stefan Postma has agreed a move from ADO den Haag to QPR for an undisclosed fee, according to reports in Holland.
The 31-year-old's contract at the Den Haag Stadion was due to expire in the summer and coach Wiljan Vloet has allowed him to leave the Juplier League club.
Postma, who had previous spells in England with Aston Villa and Wolves, admitted he was delighted to be able to return to these shores.
"This is an enormous chance for me," Postma told the Telegraaf. "I am extremely happy that I can start keeping clean sheets in goal in England again." Report


CHELSEA OFFICIAL SITE SAHAR NO STRANGER
It's some 11 years since we last faced Queens Park Rangers, but as one of three Blues to have spent time on loan at Loftus Road this season, Ben Sahar knows what we can expect when they visit tomorrow.
Sahar was just six years old in March 1996, when Ray Wilkins brought his relegation-threatened side to Stamford Bridge for a 1-1 draw, and since then Rangers have not been back to the top flight, while we have become double Premier League champions.
The Israeli forward made nine appearances during his loan spell, which finished this week, and he is hoping to be a part of Avram Grant's squad as we begin our defence of the FA Cup.
'They are a good team and they will come here to fight, and come with ambition,' Sahar said of his former team-mates. 'They have started winning so that will help confidence, but we should think about us because we are much better if we play like we can.
'They are in quite good form, winning now, when we (Sahar and Scott Sinclair) played the team was struggling a bit but now they are winning and they are playing well.
'They have a good crowd, the QPR fans, so we have to start well and score the first goal early on.'
Sahar played just three times under him, but has kind words for Hoops manager Luigi De Canio.
'De Canio is a good coach, he doesn't speak English much, but has a translator. They understand him more now he has been there a while and he concentrates on tactics a lot,' Sahar said.
'Being Italian he likes to concentrate on defence, so they should be tight, but if we play like we know, we will win,' he added.
QPR have added a string of players to their squad since the transfer window reopened, and Sahar admits there would be an unfamiliar look to the squad he was a part of just days ago.
'There is more money now, so they can buy a lot of players because they want to go up as soon as possible from what the manager said. I don't know much about the new signings but I heard they are good players, they brought a few in so I guess they will change the team a little,' he said.
On a personal level, the 18-year-old is happy to be back at Stamford Bridge, and is hoping he has done enough in recent days to persuade Avram Grant to call him into his squad.
'I'm happy to be back, this is home and I feel great here, so hopefully I will get a chance soon to play,' he smiled. 'I'll just push on and wait for the chance.'Chelsea


Edinborough Evening News/Barry Anderson - Hearts set to lose key club figures to Celtic and QPR
HEARTS are facing the prospect of losing two key club officials with Celtic closing in on youth academy director John Murray and Queens Park Rangers close to luring commercial director Ali Russell to Loftus Road.
Murray has been approached by Parkhead officials and offered the post of head of youth recruitment and is expected to decide on the move before the end of next week. Should he accept, he would work at Celtic's new Lennoxtown training base alongside Tommy Burns and John Park.
Russell has all but secured the chief executive position at QPR and the Evening News understands Hearts staff have already been informed of his imminent departure. His stock rose considerably recently when he helped secure Hearts a £2million kit manufacturing deal with Umbro, although a move into senior club management may come as a surprise to some...
