QPR boss hoping to wrap-up Cesar deal

QPR manager Mark Hughes has confirmed he is hoping to complete the signing of Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar from Inter Milan this week.

The 32-year-old has been having talks at Loftus Road after being told he can leave the San Siro.

“When you get the opportunity to sign a keeper of that quality you have to pursue it,” said Hughes.

“Nothing is concluded. We’re not at the point where we can say it’s a done deal, but the intention is there if we can. If we are able to conclude it then I’ll be delighted.”

Speaking after his team’s cup win over Walsall, Hughes also confirmed he is hoping to sign a centre-back before the transfer window closes.

Rangers are still trying to persuade Tottenham defender Michael Dawson to make the move to west London.
