Tjaronn Chery is due to undergo a medical at QPR early next week after the club triggered a release clause in his FC Groningen contract.
Chery, 27, was on Rangers’ list of targets after the end of last season and move to sign him was sanctioned following confirmation of Raheem Sterling’s transfer.
A sell-on clause agreed when Liverpool signed Sterling in 2010 means Rangers will get 20% of the fee paid by Manchester City for the England international.
An attacking midfielder with an impressive goalscoring record, Chery’s previous clubs include FC Twente and Den Haag.
A number of Premier League clubs have been monitoring him and Aston Villa recently approached Groningen but were unable to agree a deal.
Dutch media had claimed that QPR had a bid for him rejected and that he is keen to play for a top-flight team.
However, Rangers have been confident of a deal and hope to wrap up the signing in the coming days.
