QPR midfielder Leroy Fer has travelled to Wearside for talks and a medical with Sunderland prior his proposed loan move.

Holland international Fer, who is the cousin of Sunderland left-back Patrick van Anholt, will be joined by Yann M'Vila on an initial loan from Rubin Kazan while Dick Advocaat remains interested in Fenerbahce striker Moussa Sow.

QPR manager Chris Ramsey had hoped to have Fer available for Saturday's Championship opener against Charlton.

Striker Charlie Austin has also been linked with a move away from Loftus Road and Ramsey told BBC London 94.9: 'We know it's a financial situation where the players, given the right offer, will probably go.

'Selfishly, I hope nobody comes in for them. Whoever's in the building and can help needs to be on hand.

'What is happening is that the players are training very hard to get fit for the beginning of the season and if they're fit they'll feature.'

QPR have had a bid rejected for Southend goalkeeper Daniel Bentley but have signed Leicester City for left back Paul Konchesky who had been a target for Bristol City.
