QPR boss Mark Hughes is very hopeful of securing the services of Manchester City's Nedum Onuoha.
Earlier today, the R's agreed a fee of around £3million with City regarding the 25-year old defender and although a deal has yet to be finalised, Hughes is confident it will go ahead.
"I don't think we are at a point where we can confirm or really say it will definitely happen. We're hopeful but it has not been confirmed yet.
"There has been conversations between both clubs and if we can make it happen we will be delighted.
"I am not sure if we have totally been given permission to speak to the boy but certainly the two clubs are talking. Faxes are going back and forth, emails and what have you.
"I would like to think at some point today I'll be able to speak to him directly and make him understand what we want to do here.""We've obviously expressed an interest and I think it is progressing," said Hughes who had Onuoha during his time as City manager.
