Dozzell Deal Done - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands the deal which will make Blues midfielder Andre Dozzell a QPR player has been agreed.
Confirmation of the 22-year-old’s move to Loftus Road is likely to come at some point today for a fee of £1 million plus a sell-on.
TWTD revealed in February that the West Londoners were watching Dozzell and earlier this month that they were leading the chase and then close to completing his signing.
Dozzell, the son of Blues legend Jason, came through the academy at Town and went on to make 78 starts and 15 sub appearances, scoring three times, including on his debut as a 16-year-old at Sheffield Wednesday, emulating his father.
The former Copleston High School pupil was among the many players told he could leave the club this summer by manager Paul Cook.
As previously reported, we understand the contract Dozzell signed in December included a clause stipulating that if an offer came in at the agreed level, £1 million, the club had to accept it.
With the former England U20 cap's previous contract up this summer, the Blues weren't in a strong position when negotiating the deal.
Blackburn Rovers and Brentford also showed interest in signing Dozzell this summer.
