QPR chief crows about winning transfer race for Birmingham City target
- Queens Park Rangers chief executive Christian Nourry claims that his club beat Championship rivals with much deeper pockets to win the race to sign Kwame Poku.
QPR emerged as 11th hour candidates for Poku, the 23-year-old winger who was coming up to the end of his contract at Peterborough United.
He had been on the radar of plenty of clubs thanks to his goal-making form in League One and Birmingham City had widely been reported to be in pole position to agree a deal this summer
Instead it looked like he might go to St Pauli or Rangers, who wouldn’t have owed Peterborough any compensation due to cross-border rules, before QPR suddenly swept in to lure him to Loftus Road. It is claimed they have agreed a fee of about £900,000 plus add-ons with Peterborough as well as an eye-popping wage package.
“Kwame is a player that the QPR recruitment department have been interested in for over four years,” said Nourry
