Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has been dealt a stunning blow as he looks to revamp his squad; Jamie O'Hara, previously understood to be on the verge of completing a permanent move to the West Midlands after a successful loan spell, is set to remain in London and join Premier League new boys QPR.
A fee of £5m had been agreed with Spurs and Wolves were happy to proceed with the deal, but an administrative error meant that the week-long deadline to complete the deal lapsed, and the Hoops have wasted no time in swooping for the midfielder. Flavio Briatore has told manager Neil Warnock that he sees the former Arsenal trainee as his marquee signing for the summer and has promised a weekly wage in excess of £50,000, which has proven too much for O'Hara to turn down, despite previous statements that he had no intention of returning to the south-east.
The disappointed McCarthy will now turn his attentions to free agent Nigel Reo-Coker, who has recently left Aston Villa following the expiry of his contract.
