Queens Park Rangers will allow Junior Hoilett and Armand Traore to leave on free transfers before Tuesday's deadline, according to Sky sources.

Both players have fallen down the pecking order at Loftus Road and are in the final year of their contracts.

Hoilett was reportedly linked with Borussia Monchengladbach during the January window, while Sunderland and Bournemouth were reported to be interested earlier this summer.

However, no offers have been made for the 25-year-old and the Championship club are understood to be keen to cut him from their wage bill. 

The Canada international has started just 47 league matches since joining from Blackburn three years ago and only featured in two Carling Cup matches this term.

Fellow 25-year-old Traore has been hampered by injuries since arriving from Arsenal for £2m in 2011.
