QPR bolster midfield with Varane capture – Signing

QPR have finally completed the protracted signing of Jonathan Varane, a French midfielder from Sporting Gijon in Spain.
Facts
Jonathan Varane is a 22-year-old central midfielder from the French city of Lille (revolution, snails, Eurostar), with Martiniquais heritage through his father.
He’s the half brother of Raphael Varane, the French international of 93 caps standing, and like his older sibling he initially came through the ranks at Lens. He joined the academy there when he was just seven years old and progressed through to a first team contract in May 2021 and a first team debut in a 3-2 defeat to Nantes in Ligue 1 in December 2021 – he was subbed on in the second minute of stoppage time. He spent the second half of that campaign on loan in the division below at Rodez, contributing six appearances to their successful battle against relegation.
In the summer of 2022 he moved to Spanish La Liga side Sporting Gijon (bulls, paella, Estrella). Starting initially for their B Team, he came through to make a first team debut in January 2023 in a 2-0n cup win against Rayo Vallecano. The arrival of Miguel Ángel Ramírez as manager boosted his first team prospects and he’s since clocked up 17 starts and 26 sub appearances.
He has signed a contract of indeterminate length at Loftus Road for a fee West London Sport are reporting is an initial £825k up front with further add ons to potentially come.

Clive has some video amongst all this
Don't know much about him but but the sort player we looking for with an eye for goal & quick
He's absolute quality pal, if we manage to pull it off, he'd be the best signing we've made in years. Having said that , I just can't see us getting him, even on loan. Alas
There are no bigger clubs than QPR surely?
I'm not used to reading comment like that we are in the best position to meet Palace demands of both wages paid and a fee, especially when PL parachute payment Clubs are involved. Only advantage to us I can imagine is if Rak-Sakyi prefers to stay in London, and that of course we are the best Club in the World. No Doubt.
Thx so much. An encouraging read. Bit concerned about his tackling skills as might earn him a card or two but the videos look good.
