QPR are set to complete their first signings of the summer after agreeing a £4 million deal for Swindon duo Massimo Luongo and Ben Gladwin.

Manager Chris Ramsey and director of football Les Ferdinand knows Luongo well, having worked with him at Tottenham before he joined Swindon in 2013. Rangers are also in talks with former Arsenal striker Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, who is a free agent.

This is just the start of the rebuilding process after QPR announced that 10 players were leaving this summer.

Of the 13 players out of contract, only Clint Hill and Alejandro Faurlin have been offered new terms, while Karl Henry has the option to extend his agreement another year.
