Bristol City playmaker Luke Freeman is set to join Queens Park Rangers.
According to Sky Sports, Bristol City midfielder Luke Freeman is heading to London for a medical with Queens Park Rangers after the clubs agreed a £300,000 deal.
Freeman, 24, hit the big time in 2008, as he left Gillingham to join Arsenal at the age of just 15, but he failed to even make his debut for the Gunners as he struggled to make the breakthrough in North London.

The playmaker left for Stevenage in January 2012 after a successful loan spell with the club, and after hitting 17 goals in 128 games, he moved on to Bristol City in 2014.
Freeman played a huge part in the Robins’ promotion in 2015, but scored just once last season – and has slipped down the pecking order this term, starting just 14 league games this term, though he has scored twice.

Now, Sky Sports report that Freeman – who pulled out of the Bristol City side to play Burnley in the FA Cup this weekend – is now heading to London in order to complete a medical with Queens Park Rangers.
Ian Holloway’s side are looking for more quality before Tuesday’s transfer deadline, and having landed Kazenga Lua Lua from Brighton and Hove Albion earlier this month, Freeman is now heading to Loftus Road to add another creative option for the R’s.
Capable of playing out wide or in central midfield, Freeman will give Holloway another option in midfield, and he could prove to be a real bargain for the club.
Freeman’s contract was set to expire at the end of the season, and QPR have been able to agree a fee of just £300,000, with Bristol City deciding to cash in now before losing him for free this summer.
