Queens Park Rangers are reportedly closing in on Fulham’s Matt Smith.
According to Sky Sports, Queens Park Rangers have agreed a fee for Fulham striker Matt Smith, with the deal potentially reaching £1million.
QPR have been attempting to add new faces this month, and Ian Holloway has swooped to add midfielder Sean Goss and winger Kazenga Lua Lua from Manchester United and Brighton and Hove Albion respectively.

It’s claimed that QPR have agreed a deal worth £500,000 rising to £1million for Smith, who could now make the short move from Craven Cottage to Loftus Road before the deadline.
Smith, 27, has started just seven league games this season and scored only twice, with his last goal coming against Preston North End way back on the 13th of August.
Smith has appeared just twice since the end of October, and with no future under Slavisa Jokanovic, the striker now seems to be on his way out of Fulham.

A giant striker at 6ft 6in tall, Smith possesses great strength and aerial ability, and will give Holloway a new dimension in the QPR attack should a deal – as expected – go through.
