French forward Yeni Ngbakoto has become QPR's fifth signing of the summer after signing on a three-year deal.

The 24-year-old moves to Loftus Road from Metz but the transfer fee was not disclosed.

Rangers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink told the club's website: "I'm delighted we've got the deal over the line because there was great interest in him.

"Yeni is a player we've scouted for a long while and identified as being a player that suits what we are trying to do here at QPR.

"He's a good age, he's already got great quality, but we firmly believe we can help take his game to the next level.

"He's got a spur of pace that will cause teams problems, and that is a great asset to have."

"He can pick a pass, score goals and if he can get anywhere near to replicating his figures with Metz from last season, we'll be delighted.

"I'm really excited to bring him here and I'm sure the fans will really take to watching him play for QPR."

Playing in Ligue 2 last season, Ngbakoto netted 12 goals and added 11 assists in his 38 appearances for a club which earned promotion back to the top flight in France.

Ngbakoto told the website: "It has always been a dream of mine to play in England and I believe now is the right time for me to come here and experience playing in another country."
