QPR agree deal for Steven Caulker

Queens Park Rangers have apparently had a transfer fee agreed for Cardiff City defender Steven Caulker.

The Hoops boss Harry Redknapp has followed up the signing of Rio Ferdinand on a free, by making a move for the former Spurs centre-back.

"We've agreed a fee for Steven Caulker, who I like very much," Redknapp said. "I had him at Tottenham as a player and he's done very well. I think for him to come and play with Rio would be a great experience for him."

It is understood that the West London outfit have agreed on a fee in the region of £8m for the England international.
