Harvey Vale, a winger for Chelsea, has committed to Queens Park Rangers permanently.
This season, the 21-year-old has only made one appearance for Chelsea, against Shamrock Rovers in the UEFA Conference League.
Despite having a long-term deal with QPR, Vale will be sidelined for the remainder of the season because of an injury.
He had impressed while on loan at Bristol Rovers and made seven first-team appearances for Chelsea.
Vale joins Archie O’Brien and Brazilian left-back Esquerdinha as QPR’s third winter transfer window acquisition.
O’Brien and Esquerdinha will both start out with the club’s development team.
