QPR transfer hits snag as Millwall confirmed to have dealt Middlesbrough low—round-up

Pape Meissa Ba, a striker for FC Schalke, is scheduled to be signed by QPR this summer, although the deal has

encountered a minor setback before the Championship season.

Six months after he transferred from Grenoble to the 2. Bundesliga team, the R’s reportedly reached an agreement to

pay €500,000 to bring the player to Loftus Road. In 13 games for the team, the 28-year-old recorded two goals and

two assists.

After Michael Frey and Zan Celar unable to handle the load due to injury issues last season, QPR is in need of more

firepower. Charlton Athletic, a championship foe, recently purchased Charlie Kelman from the R’s.

QPR transfer hits temporary snag

Sky Sports reporter Patrick Berger reports that, while the move for Ba has indeed hit a slight hurdle, it is still
expected to be completed. The striker is waiting in France to receive the green light to fly to London and finalise the
transfer once his visa has come through.

Update: “Pape Meïssa Ba (28/) from Schalke to QPR is just a matter of time,” Berger stated. The player is presently

in France awaiting his visa paperwork and approval to enter the United Kingdom.

In a stunning move for the London team, Millwall has finalised the transfer of Luton Town defender Alfie Doughty.

Two seasons ago, the Hatters’ Premier League campaign included the dynamic full-back as one of its top players.

Millwall deal Middlesbrough transfer blow

TeesideLive has now confirmed that the switch to The Den comes as a blow to Middlesbrough, who were also

targeting the player this summer. Former Luton Town manager Rob Edwards has been appointed at the Riverside

Stadium but it’s claimed that interest in Doughty predated his arrival in the North East.

Boro ‘closely monitored’ the situation around Doughty but were beaten to the deal by Millwall. It’s claimed that the player’s allegiances to the Lions helped the club secure a deal.

Millwall director of football Steve Gallen said: “I am really pleased we could get this deal done. Alfie is a player I’ve

known for a long time, from when we were both at Charlton.Because of his versatility and skill both on and off the

ball, the Premier League was interested in him as recently as a year ago.

“I’m so happy that we were able to close this deal. I’ve known the player Alfie for a while, back when we were both at

Charlton. Because of his versatility and skill both on and off the ball, the Premier League was interested in him as

recently as a year ago.
