DONE DEAL: QPR land Leicester left-back Konchesky

QPR have announced the signing of Paul Konchesky on a season-long loan.

The 34-year-old has joined the Championship club from Leicester City after falling down the pecking order under new Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri.

Konchesky returns to London after previous spells with Charlton Athletic, Tottenham, West Ham United and Fulham.

The former Liverpool and Nottingham Forest left-back joined Leicester in 2011 but will now spend the 2015/16 campaign at Loftus Road with the R's for whom he could make his debut in the Championship season opener against Charlton this weekend.

“I know what QPR as a club are all about, having played here over the years. The fans demand 100 per cent and that's what I give every time I step on to the pitch," he told the club's official website.

"I can't wait to get going and help this club bounce back from last season's relegation."
