Queens Park Rangers chief Flavio Briatore hopes new signing Dani Parejo will blossom in English football.

QPR have sealed the capture of the highly-rated Real Madrid starlet - who impressed in the Emirates Cup at the weekend playing for the Spanish giants.

Parejo will spend at least the next season with QPR, who beat a host of clubs to the youngster's signature.

"One or two years in England will make him tough," Briatore told Sky Sports News.

"The championship is very tough, he is a kind of superstar in Spain but he is a normal guy who will do well here."

Parejo is looking forward to his first season in English football.

"If I wasn't convinced that QPR wasn't ambitious I would not have come and I believed we will achieve our objectives this season," he told Sky Sports News.
