Queens Park Rangers will complete a £2.25million deal to sign highly-rated Dutch midfielder Tjaronn Chery from Eredivisie side Groningen next week.

The 27-year-old, who has also attracted interest from Aston Villa, is set to join the Championship side after they have returned from their pre-season tour of Italy.

Chery is expected to pen a three-year deal at Loftus Road, subject to a medical.

The news comes as a real coup for the Championship side, who are in desperate need of reinforcements ahead of the new season.

The former ADO Den Haag playmaker was not in the squad for his side's friendly against Southampton on Saturday, as he prepares to travel to London on Monday to finalise a deal to W12.

Chery revealed to Dutch newspaper fok.nl that he has spoken to fellow countryman and QPR midfielder Leroy Fer about the move.

He said: 'Leroy said that QPR is a big and beautiful club and that it would be a good step for me.

'He also told me QPR remain an ambitious club despite relegation and that the intention is that they immediately return to the Premier League.

'There were offers from other clubs, but it has always been my dream to play in England. I'm leaving Groningen with a very good feeling.'

Chery is set to become the west London side's sixth signing of the summer, joining Ben Gladwin, Massimo Luongo, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Jamie Mackie and Sebastian Polter in W12.
