The ex-R's player indicated the manager's Old Trafford links helped secure Park Ji-Sung's signature, while expressing his excitement for the future

QPR youth coach Marc Bircham has revealed that boss Mark Hughes is aiming to bring in one or two more big names before the new season, after agreeing a deal to sign Park Ji-Sung.



The club are understood to have agreed an initial fee of £2.5 million with Manchester United for the midfielder, who is set to undergo a medical at the west London outfit on Saturday.



The R’s, who had to wait until the final day of last season to secure their Premier League survival, have also already secured the services of Robert Green, Andy Johnson and Park's former Red Devils team-mate Fabio on a year-long loan – and Bircham is expecting further new arrivals.

"[Park] is one of a number of big-name targets that we are looking at,” the 34-year-old told talkSPORT.



“He will just be one of them and hopefully the gaffer can get one or two in and that adds to the squad that we’ve got.



“This is a great chance in the Premier League [for QPR]. I think last year was all about survival. The gaffer came in and had to keep us in the Premier League but now it is a building block.



“We’ve got planning permission for the new training ground and there was talk about a new stadium. As a QPR player and fan for so many years this is probably the brightest our future has looked.”

Bircham has revealed that the manger's links with the club he used to play for has helped with transfer business, while indicating that the ex-Manchester City boss is still in the market for "marquee" players as the club look forward to a bright future.



“The gaffer has used his links to Man United and I think there will be a couple of marquee signings made before the start of the season.”
