This week has certainly begun on a positive note for Queens Park Rangers fans given the latest news coming from Loftus Road.

Luke Freeman, one of QPR’s most influential players in recent seasons, has signed a new contract with the west London club.

The 26-year-old linked up with the R’s in January 2017 from Bristol City and, according to Transfermarkt, has claimed 11 goals and 18 assists from 82 appearances.

A number of clubs have reportedly been monitoring Freeman in recent months – London Football News previously suggested that Middlesbrough were interested in the midfielder.

Freeman’s previous deal had 18 months to run but the latest contract sees the former Arsenal academy player tied to QPR until 2021.
