Queens Park Rangers have had a bid for Blackpool striker DJ Campbell accepted with the player to undergo a medical in London on Friday.The forward only joined the Tangerines permanently last term after enjoying a successful loan spell and continued his good form during the club’s first Premier League season, scoring 13 goals in 31 matches in the top flight.
The 29-year-old joins the newly promoted club for an undisclosed fee, and only need to agree to personal terms with QPR for the deal to go through.
“Blackpool Football Club can confirm that an agreement has been reached with Queen Park Rangers for the transfer of striker DJ Campbell,” Blackpool said on their official website.
“The 29-year-old has now been given permission to discuss personal terms with Neil Warnock’s side and undergo a medical.”
QPR have already secured the signings of Kieron Dyer, Jay Bothroyd and Danny Gabbidon so far this summer, but all three deals were on free transfers.
Elsewhere in England, Bolton Wanderers have completed the signing of Burnley duo Chris Eagles and Tyrone Mears on three-year deals.
Right-back Mears and Eagles, a striker, rejoin manager Owen Coyle, who signed them for Burnely during his time in charge there.
In the Eredivisie, PSV striker Ola Toivonen has said he wants to stay at Eindhoven, but has urged the club to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season.
Toivonen has been linked with a move to England throughout the of-season, but said he was happy to remain in the Netherlands if PSV could muster a serious title challenge.
“I’d like to stay at PSV, but I really want to play for the Eredivisie title this season,” the Swede said to Algemeen Dagblad.
“However, this squad lacks the depth to compete right until the end. I have no doubt that the club is working hard to sign some more players, but I really hope that their attempts will be successful.”
And in Spain, the agent of Villarreal attacker Giuseppe Rossi has announced the player will remain with the La Liga outit, much to the disappointment of potential suitor Juventus.
Rossi had looked on the way out as Villarreal looked to solve their financial problems, but the sale of Santi Cazorla to Malaga has eased the burden, allowing Rossi to remain at El Madrigal.
