As soon as he told me about the move, I was interested."Other Championship clubs came in for me also, but QPR is a team that plays football in the way that I like to play it, so this is why I wanted to come here."I said 'yes' straight away. This is good for me."I have come here to learn, and I know that the physical side is something I will need to handle. It will be good for my experience and for my development."
