Round-up: Bees & QPR deals close, loan exit, Whites want striker, Lapthorne wins

Brentford and QPR are both close to making signings ahead of next week’s transfer deadline.

The Bees have agreed a deal to sign PSV Eindhoven winger Florian Jozefzoon, who is set to undergo a medical.

Brentford, who are not currently interested in signing Chuba Akpom on loan despite being linked with the Arsenal youngster, remain interested in a potential deal to sign Sergi Canos from Norwich.

QPR are close to completing the signing of midfielder Sean Goss from Manchester United despite interest from a number of clubs.

West London Sport recently revealed Rangers were looking to sign the 21-year-old and later revealed that an offer had been accepted by United.

West London Sport also revealed that QPR would listen to offers for Ariel Borysiuk and subsequently revealed that his former club Lechia Gdańsk wanted to sign the Polish midfielder on loan.

Borysiuk’s move is now close to going through – and the deal to sign Goss could be completed by the weekend.

Meanwhile, Darnell Furlong is close to signing the new contract he was recently offered by QPR.

Fulham, who on Tuesday agreed a deal to sign Werder Bremen midfielder Athanasios Petsos on loan, are also looking to sign a striker.

The Whites would like Middlesbrough’s Jordan Rhodes but the current asking price of £9m is too high.

In cricket, fast bowler Tom Helm, who extended his contract with Middlesex this week, has been described by boss Angus Fraser as “one of the most exciting young cricketers in the country.”

And in wheelchair tennis, Eastcote’s Andy Lapthorne got his Australian Open quad singles campaign off to a winning start.
