QPR are wrapping up a deal for Lassana Diarra today.
QPR are confident that terms have been agreed on a £65,000-a-week deal with the 29-year-old.
Diarra was told to leave Lokomotiv Moscow last week after a major fall-out with coach Leonid Kuchuk.
But QPR believe the former Chelsea and Arsenal schemer's combative qualities will boost their survival fight in the Premier League this season.
And his arrival will strengthen the west Londoners' squad following the blow that midfielder Alejandro Faurlin faces a nine-month lay off with another knee ligament injury.
