Chimbonda to Talk to QPR - Ipswich Town News
Town target Pascal Chimbonda is set for talks with QPR. The 31-year-old, who played for Paul Jewell at Wigan, settled his contract with Blackburn Rovers yesterday.
Chimbonda’s agent Willie McKay said: "Pascal is going down for talks with QPR after cancelling his contract at Blackburn.
"He is keen to get his career back on track after a tough last six months at Blackburn. He feels QPR are an ambitious club that matches his own ambitions and he wants to help them win promotion to the Premier League."
Yesterday, prior to news that the one-time French international had left Ewood Park had broken, Blues boss Paul Jewell confirmed that he had spoken to Rovers manager Steve Kean: "I’ve made lots of phone calls and I’ve spoken to Steve Kean about a couple of things and Pascal’s name did come up in conversation.
"I just asked generally about what would be available. I’ve made lots of phone calls, as I’ve had lots of phone calls.
"I asked him what the situation is and he said he’d think about it. Whether Pascal Chimbonda is part of his plans, I don’t 100% know. I’ll leave that to Steve.”
Meanwhile, Leeds United have also been linked with the right-back.
