Duo poised for QPR switch

Aug 30 2012 By Jacob Murtagh

MARSEILLE midfielder Stephane Mbia is set to join QPR.

The Cameroon international claims he has snubbed the chance to move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce in favour of a switch to Loftus Road.

Mbia's arrival in W12 is part of the deal which sees Joey Barton go in the opposite direction, with the axed R's captain in France undergoing a medical.

Mbia told Le Parisien: "I choose to go to QPR, despite the late interest of Fenerbahce. I want to join one of the best leagues in the world. I am excited."
