- Sahar deal excites Gregory
QPR manager John Gregory is looking forward to working with Ben Sahar after agreeing to bring the Chelsea teenager to Loftus Road on an initial three-month loan deal.
The 17-year-old striker, who has already represented the senior Israel team three times, will officially join Rangers on August 1.
Gregory told the club's official website: "It's exciting to have somebody of Ben's undoubted potential being part of our set-up at the start of the new season.
"I use the word 'potential' as Ben has still got his whole career in front of him at the moment.
"Although he's got full caps for the national team and has made first-team appearances for Chelsea in the Premiership, it will still be a big step up for Ben to become a regular player in the Championship.
"But we firmly believe it's a step-up that he's more than capable of achieving.
"We're delighted to have him here and I'm sure he'll improve our attacking options. I now have six recognised strikers who are all fighting for two or three places in the team."
