Queens Park Rangers and Bolton are both battling to complete the signing of Paraguyan  international forward Juan Manuel Iturbe. Iturbe currently plays for Porto in the Portuguese Super League, but has failed to so far force his way into the first team regularly.

The 18 year old's agent is currently in the process of finding him a move to England, and both Mark Hughes and Owen Coyle are in talks to land the talented forward.


The 5 foot 6 striker has been compared to Argentinian forward Javier Saviola, who has also been tracked by several Premier League clubs for many years.


Porto are not interested in a permanent move, but are keen to loan the player out so that he will acquire some first team experience.
