QPR complete loan signing of Juventus' Isla

QPR have signed Juventus wingback Mauricio Isla on loan.

The 26-year old Chile international has joined the R's on a season-long loan after failing to cement a spot in the Juventus first team.

Isla was impressive during the 2014 World Cup for Chile which has prompted excitement from R's manager Harry Redknapp.

"He's a top player and we're delighted to have him here," he told the club's official website.

"He showed his quality in the World Cup for Chile and it's a great loan signing for us.

"He's a versatile player, he's full of energy. I'm confident he'll be a really big asset for us this season."
