QPR loan Italian striker

Fiorentina's younge Italian striker Samuel Di Carmine has joined Queens Park Rangers on a loan deal that will see him play for the West London club until the end of season.

The QPR boss, Ian Dowie is rebuilding his squad and the young striker from Italy is his latest addition. Dowie said that Samuel has great potential and he leads the line well and uses his body effectively.

The Italian who plays more like Wayne Rooney is a highly rated youngster and a future prospect.

"A season-long loan provides us with a good opportunity to have a closer look at him.

"Technically, he looks fine. He might take a little bit of time to adjust to the physical rigours of Championship football, but I'm sure he's capable of that.

"What we want is a good under-belly of young players at the club. When you're building for the future that's vitally important."

QPR have already loaned Emmanuel Jorge Ledesma, Radek Cerny, Peter Ramage and Matteo Alberitini.
