Not yet announced by either clubs - possibly because the transfer window has not yet officially opened? - but reportedly, QPR are signing a 19 year old from Italy, Matteo Alberto from the Italian club Serie B club, Chievo Verona (About Chievo Verona). He's apparently made one appearance for Verona. Various fans reported on him being introduced at the club's Annual Fans Dinner on Sunday (and there were photos on the web of Alberto at the QPR Dinner!). And it's reported in the Italian press. (There's also reportedly an August friendly scheduled between the two clubs.)
