QPR have agreed a transfer fee of up to £4 million as compensation for Junior Hoilett’s move from Blackburn, The Daily Mail claim.

The Canadian attacker impressed over a number of seasons at Ewood Park, but left the Lancashire club following their relegation from the Premier League last term.

Hoilett’s contract was up and joined the Loftus Road club on a free transfer, but due to his age Rovers were due a compensation fee.

An initial amount of £3 million will be paid to the Championship side, with an extra £1 million in the offing dependant on the number of appearances the North American makes for the London club.

It is believed that Blackburn are also entitled to a portion of Hoilett’s sell-on fee should it be more than the figure they have just received from QPR.

The agreement between the clubs means that the matter does not have to be determined by the Professional Football Compensation Committee.
