    but its a 2.5 year deal which is much better than the 4.5 quoted. wearing 52!?

    QPR have swooped late on deadline day to bring Bobby Zamora to Loftus Road from Fulham, after the two Clubs agreed an undisclosed fee for his services.

    The England international striker has penned a two-and-a-half year deal in W12 and links up again with his former Cottagers boss Mark Hughes.

    The 31 year-old's arrival follows hot on the heels of the addition of Djibril Cisse, but unlike his new team-mate, the Three Lions ace won't be eligible to feature against Aston Villa on Wednesday night.

    A delighted Hughes told www.qpr.co.uk: "Bobby is a guy that makes things happen on the pitch, be it scoring goals or creating chances for others.

    "He's a great foil for any team.

    "We needed a player of his ilk at the Football Club and I couldn't be more delighted."

    Hughes added: "He was the difference for us at Fulham last season.

    "He came back from injury and he made such an impact in the second half of the campaign.

    "He's got great power and pace and his technical ability is top class. He's got an excellent left foot."

    Zamora, who made his England debut against Hungary in August 2010 and has seven goals to his name already this term, can't wait to kick-start the next chapter of his career at Loftus Road, commenting: "QPR are certainly a Club that are looking to go forward. That's something that I'm looking forward to being a part of.

    "I got on really well with the Manager at Fulham. We all grew to like Mark. I think that will be the case here. He's looking to take the Club forward.

    "I think this was the right time for me to have a fresh challenge. I had some great experiences at Fulham. Going to a European final is special.

    "But this is a new challenge for myself and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it."

    Zamora added: "The ambition of the Club was certainly a drawing factor as well.

    "I've been lucky enough to speak to Tony (Fernandes) and Phil's (Beard) relayed a lot of messages about where this Club want to go.

    "For me, it was quite an easy decision to be a part of this.

    "The sky's the limit. We're looking to go forward and to grow and I want to be a part of that."

    Zamora will wear squad number 52.
