QPR close to signing SWP



Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock believes he is edging closer to tying up a deal for Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Four clubs have had an offer accepted by Manchester City, with the England international having spoken to all of the interested parties.

He is, however, believed to favour a switch to Loftus Road.

Warnock is certain he will get his man, with QPR working hard to get a transfer pushed through before Wednesday's deadline.

He is convinced that his side hold all the right cards, with the chance to take in a second spell in the capital appealing to former Chelsea man Wright-Phillips.

Warnock said: "We have made an offer and it's been accepted.

"There are four clubs who have agreed and it's really down to the player.

"Joey (Barton) has spoken to him, I think they were room-mates at Man City so that might help.

"I think the big draw for Shaun is going back to London. His mum is there and he's got a house there."
