QPR are on the verge of making their first signing since winning the Championship title with a free transfer swoop for out-of-favour Aston Villa right back Habib Beye. The Senegal international has barely featured for Villa since signing there two years ago and the managerless Midlanders are prepared to release him from the final year of his contract.
Hoops boss Neil Warnock has pinpointed the right back area as a key area to strengthen for the upcoming campaign; Pascal Chimbonda's short-lived spell in West London was not a success and Warnock does not see Bradley Orr as a regular starter in the Premier League. The veteran manager has moved for Beye after an approach to take Tottenham's Kyle Naughton on a season-long loan was rebuffed.
Beye will sign an initial one-year deal at Loftus Road, with a clause inserted guaranteeing him a further year if he makes more than 25 appearances next season.
