Jonathan Varane Joins QPR from Sporting Gijón

Jonathan Varane, a 22-year-old midfielder, has officially signed with Queens Park Rangers from Sporting Gijón for a fee reported to be around £1 million. Varane expressed his excitement about joining QPR, stating that it is a positive step for his career and he believes his playing style will suit the Championship. He previously made 25 appearances for Gijón in the second tier of Spanish football after joining them in 2022. The move comes as QPR seeks to bolster their squad, with Varane being their fifth signing of the summer. Additionally, QPR is exploring options for a left-back, with interest in Liverpool's Owen Beck amid contract uncertainties with current player Kenneth Paal. Varane looks forward to contributing to his new team and achieving the club's objectives.
