Queens Park Rangers have agreed an undisclosed fee with Serie B side Chievo for midfielder Matteo Alberti.
The 19-year-old, who has yet to make his full debut for Chievo, will officially sign a four-year contract at Loftus Road on 1st July.
Alberti becomes QPR's third signing in three days, following Tottenham Hotspur shot-stopper Radek Cerny and Newcastle United defender Peter Ramage, ahead of what is expected to be another busy transfer window at the wealthy Championship club.
The agreement comes just 24 hours after Iain Dowie was named as the club's new first-team coach on Wednesday.
As part of the agreement, Chievo will travel to Loftus Road for a pre-season friendly on Saturday 2nd August.
