Leroy Fer excited about QPR move

Former Norwich City midfielder Leroy Fer is excited about his move to QPR.

Fer was given an extended break following Holland's third-place finish in Brazil but he did appear for Norwich as a late substitute in their 3-0 win over Watford.

The former FC Twente midfielder was originally included in Neil Adams' squad to take on Blackburn on Tuesday evening but withdrew to travel to west London for a medical.

The deal was confirmed on Wednesday evening and Fer is raring to go now he has signed for the Hoops.

"I can't wait to get started here," he said.

"It was always my dream to stay in England, in the Premier League. QPR did well last season to come up and the squad is full of top players, so I'm delighted to be here.

"Harry told me I was a big target for him and when you hear that from a coach, you want to work with them and play for them. I'm just looking forward to showing what I'm capable of here at QPR."
