QPR targeting clubless Super Eagles stalwart

The Super Eagles star has been without a club since July, but he could soon move to the English Championship 

English Championship club Queen Park Rangers could sign Nigerian free agent Leon Balogun this summer.

Balogun’s successful two-year stay at Rangers came to an end in July after the Glasgow giants refused to renew his contract.

Nonetheless, the 34-year-old left the club on a good note, as he helped the Gers to a Premiership triumph, Europa League final, and a Scottish Cup triumph.

Balogun has been without a club since the expiration of his contract two months ago. However, the status quo could change soon.

FLW as per West London Sports reports that QPR could make a move for the Super Eagles defender.

Balogun could add some grit to the QPR backline which has been suspect in the last two seasons. Last season, they conceded 59 goals in the Championship. And this season, they have continued, conceding seven in five games.

Also, Balogun is not new to English football, as he previously played for Wigan Athletic and Brighton.

His addition could be key for coach Michael Beale as he looks to push the team to promotion positions in his first season in charge.
