QPR looking to complete deal for Cook
By West London Sport 09/08/2023

QPR are looking to finalise a deal to bring in Steve Cook in the next 24 hours.

Cook, 32, is not in Nottingham Forest’s plans and Rangers have been in negotiations to take him to
West London.

An agreement now appears to be almost in place and the defender could make his debut at Cardiff
on Saturday.

He backed out of a move to QPR to join Forest from Bournemouth last year.

Rangers boss Gareth Ainsworth is desperate to sign an experienced centre-back as Jimmy Dunne and
Clarke Clarke-Salter are both out injured.

I think the tea lady getting the call would improve our defence at the moment.
Hopefully if he signs he will have the experience to get some organisation at the back.

Sky Sports Transfer Centre confirms Cook’s 2-year deal with Rs plus option for third year.

Looks a decent signing Conor.....

[Conor Campbell]

I agree Steve.

2 promotions from 4 campaigns at this level and has played with our new keeper and newly-signed defensive partner.

Let’s hope that his considerable experience translates into leadership, organisation and nous that helps build a secure defence.

Our previous Cook was a fans’ favourite…maybe Steve will earn the fans’ respect too.
