Express - FULHAM CLOSE IN ON COOK
LEE COOK is on the verge of joining Fulham for £1.5 million.
The QPR winger has told the club in the last 48 hours that he wants to leave Loftus Road and Rangers are today expecting a formal bid. The fee could rise to as high as £4m, depending on appearances and Fulham’s future success.
Rangers chairman Gianni Paladini needs the fee to help service a £10m loan. The reality is that £1.5m is likely to be all QPR receive from the deal and 25 per cent of that will go to the 24-year-old’s former club, Watford.
Paladini said this week: “Fulham have been back to ask for Lee but they have made little improvement on their original offer.
“I told them that if they have £6m to spend on Diomansy Kamara from West Brom then they need to find a bit more for Cook.” The sale means Rangers will now step up their effort to sign Chelsea’s Scott Sinclair on a six-month loan deal
ahead of Plymouth and Crystal Palace. .... Express QPR Report
