QPR have activated the release clause that allows Jordan Mutch to join them for £6million - as GetWestLondon predicted.

The Cardiff City midfielder becomes the second player from the relegated club to join Hoops after they paid £8m for defender Steven Caulker last month.

Much fancied Mutch was the target for a number of Premier League clubs after the former Birmingham City player scored seven Premier League goals last season in a doomed City campaign.

Bluebirds boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would have liked to keep one of his stars, but with only one year left on his contract was only too aware Mutch could leave for free next summer.

Rangers could double up in the next 24 hours by adding Juventus midfielder Mauricio Isla on loan.

The Chile international was due to have a medical and sign today, but the deal is still expected to go ahead.
