    Samba Diakite will join his new QPR team-mates in Portugal on Wednesday.

    The Rangers squad flew out from Gatwick this morning for a break in the sun designed to recharge their batteries ahead of the all-important run-in to the season.

    Diakite, 23, has been representing Mali at the Africa Cup of Nations since the club agreed his signing from French side Nancy on an initial loan deal.

    With the tournament now over, he is ready to head back to Europe to begin his Premier League career.

    Manager Mark Hughes is hoping the defensive midfielder can help a team whose defeat against fellow strugglers Blackburn on Saturday increased their relegation worries.

    I can see his arrival spelling the end of Buzsaky playing alongside Taarabt in midfield. Looks a very decent player from what I've seen.

    I hope he has broad shoulders. Big burden of expectation.

    Look rather normal from the picture! :smile: Smart hair cut, but hope those partings don't represent his defensive abilities!

    The rest of the team will collapse in shock if he can.This guy's gonna have to be twice as good as Makalele if we're to stay up!

    I take it you weren't serious then? If he's HALF as good as Makalele I'll settle for that!!
