QPR in no rush over Ledesma deal

Ledesma is already a fans' favourite at Loftus Road

QPR sporting director Gianni Paladini insists the club do not need to rush Emmanuel Ledesma's permanent signing.

Rangers have an option to buy Ledesma for around £2.2m after his season-long loan from Genoa but do not have to wait until then to complete the deal.

The Argentine has made a big impact and scored a hat-trick against Carlisle.

But Paladini said: "We have him for a year and don't have to worry about anyone else signing him. There's no need to rush."

Ledesma, 20, arrived at Loftus Road along with Fiorentina striker Samuel Di Carmine and was followed by highly-rated Real Madrid midfielder Dani Parejo.

"We just want to give him (Ledesma) time to settle in and enjoy his football," Paladini added.

"We have a few young players we just want to gel together and be happy here. We're focused on that for now."
