Queens Park Rangers have confirmed the signing of winger Kwame Poku from Peterborough United.

The 23-year-old joins the Loftus Road club after four seasons at Peterborough.

The winger's Posh contract expired this summer but, due to his age, his former club were entitled to compensation for developing him and the two parties agreed on an undisclosed fee.

Poku was linked with a number of clubs before finalising his move and QPR CEO, Christian Nourry, said: "His decision to join the football club in the face of interest from Europe-competing teams abroad and Championship teams with significantly bigger budgets than us is a fantastic validation of the direction we are moving in."

Poku said: "I feel like the project they're building here excites me and I want to be part of taking QPR to that next level.

"There's good players here and I think it's exciting times for the club."

Ghana international Poku made 147 appearances for Peterborough, scoring 30 goals, reaching double figures in his last two seasons in League One.

Poku was named in the League One team of the season and helped his former club to their EFL Trophy triumphs in each of the last two campaigns.

Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony said: "I am delighted that Kwame has decided to join a club whereby the football club secured a solid transfer fee and a fantastic sell-on clause to continue to share financially in his success in going to the top.

"We wish Kwame and his family nothing but the best for the future."
