Queens Park Rangers have completed the signing of striker Bobby Zamora from Fulham, the Premier League club announced on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old was heavily linked with a January move away from Craven Cottage, and will now join Mark Hughes’ side on a two-and-a-half-year deal after agreeing personal terms.
In a busy transfer deadline day for the Premier League newcomers, Djibril Cisse will also move to Loftus Road after joining from Serie A outfit Lazio for an undisclosed fee.

Jelavic has starred in the Scottish Premier League this season, scoring a league-high 15 goals.
He has bagged 36 in 55 appearances for Rangers since joining from Rapid Vienna for four million pounds in 2010.
Jelavic’s arrival prompted the departure of Louis Saha from Goodison Park, with the Frenchman moving to Tottenham on a permanent deal after Spurs agreed to take over the remainder of his six-month contract.

Bolton Wanderers are another side trying to stave off relegation and their hopes were boosted by the loan signing of Arsenal midfielder Ryo Miyaichi, with the Japanese international to stay at Bolton until the remainder of the season.
Arsenal moved to cover Miyaichi’s departure by signing Thomas Eisfeld from Borussia Dortmund on a long-term deal.
In France, big-spending Paris Saint-Germain spent a reported 10 million pounds to sign Thiego Motta from Inter Milan.
