Camp on the verge of QPR transfer

Camp is an England Under-21 international

QPR have agreed a deal to sign Derby County goalkeeper Lee Camp.

Last term Camp, 22, played a major role in the club's Championship survival while on loan, but his wages could prove a potential stumbling block.

"It's just a matter now of Lee sorting himself out with Derby because he's earning a lot of money there," chairman Gianni Paladini told BBC London 94.9.

"We cannot offer him the same money but he loves the club, wants to play for us and we'll give him a long contract."

Camp, a former England Under-21 international, secured a pay rise under the terms of his contract after County won promotion to the Premier League.

But after weeks of discussions, Paladini is confident a deal can now be concluded with the club's pre-season friendly programme set to start.

"The deal has been agreed," he added. "I hope sincerely that we can present him against Celtic on Sunday."

Camp kept four clean sheets in 11 matches while on loan at QPR for three months at the end of last season.

He also turned out for Norwich last year and previously played on loan at Loftus Road in 2004 when he helped the club claim promotion from the then Second Division.
