DONE DEAL: Chery departs Groningen for QPR

QPR have confirmed the signing of Tjaronn Chery.

The Dutch forward has joined the R's from FC Groningen on a three-year deal for an undisclosed release clause.

Chery, 27, had been heavily linked with a move to Aston Villa but will now make his way to the Championship where he will link up with fellow Dutchman Leroy Fer at Loftus Road.

He told the club's official website: "I am very happy to be here and looking forward to playing for QPR.

"Playing in England has always been a dream of mine and having spoken to Leroy, he said that QPR is a good fit for me.

"I know the passion of the English fans and how they like to see football played and I can't wait to show what I can do here. It's a really exciting move for me in the best years of my career."
