QPR to confirm defender signing

QPR’s signing of Nigerian left-back Taye Taiwo is expected to be confirmed later today.

Taiwo, 26, is to join the R’s from AC Milan on an initial loan deal with a view to a permanent move in the summer.

The former Marseille player required a work permit before his move to England could be rubber-stamped.

He is likely to make his debut in Saturday’s FA Cup match against Chelsea.
