Former Blue Kieron Dyer has completed his move to QPR, having been released by West Ham at the end of the season. The 32-year-old, who spent a month on loan with the Blues during 2010/11, has signed a one-year deal at Loftus Road.
Dyer says he’s pleased to be staying in the Premier League: "I'm just delighted to be here. QPR are an ambitious club and when I sat down with Neil and he explained the vision for the club - specifically the hunger and the determination of the squad - I just wanted to be part of it. He totally sold the club to me.
"I've got something to prove after the couple of years I've had, but I feel good and I'm really looking forward to playing my part next season."
QPR manager Neil Warnock added: "When a player of Kieron's ability becomes available, you'd be crazy not to be interested.
"As far as I'm concerned it's a gamble worth taking. He really impressed me in training and it looks like he has been working hard on his fitness throughout the summer.
"I instantly liked him when we met. You get feelings like that as a manager. He's had a lot of problems, but he's got something to prove. He's a hell of a good player and I still think he's got an opportunity to impress with us.
"He has a lot of experience and is desperate to play in the Premier League again. I like the hunger he's got and he wants to prove a point."
After Dyer’s brief return last season, Town boss Paul Jewell said he could look to bring the former England man back to Portman Road on a permanent basis this summer, but lately his interest appeared to cool.
