Striker deal close

Queens Park Rangers are hoping to finally wrap up a loan move for Bolton striker Heidar Helguson before the weekend.

The R's are keen on the Trotters striker, who has slipped down the pecking order at the Reebok Stadium, but failed to push through a move last week after making an enquiry.

However, following the announcement that Paulo Sousa is going to be the club's new manager, a fresh approach for Helguson is on the cards and Trotters boss Gary Megson is unlikely to stand in his way.

Megson has plenty of options in attack and is happy for Helguson to go out and get some regular action.
