Loftus Road side set for move.
QPR are set to announce details of their proposed new stadium according to The Sun.
The West London side, who have been relegated to the Championship, are looking to away from Loftus Road, which owner Tony Fernandes says QPR have ‘outgrown’ and are to move to a new £150m stadium which will be sponsored by Air Asia.
Fernandes runs Air Asia who already act as QPR’s shirt sponsors.
The 49 year old billionaire has pumped in a huge sum of his own money to help boost QPR’s standing but has instead seen successive managers spend big on high-profile players, on massive salaries, only to see the Super Hoops relegated to the English second tier.
Fernandes will no doubt hope that when the stadium is built his side is back in the top flight.
With QPR the closest side to his family home in West London, Brooklyn Beckham has recently begun training the club's under-14 academy side, according to the Daily Mail.
Brooklyn has previously played youth football for his father's former club Los Angeles Galaxy and has also trained at various ages with Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea's academy teams.
After recently relocating to a new property in the capital, Beckham has decided to place his son with a local side close to the family base.
Beckham will have more time to watch Brooklyn develop at QPR after confirming that he will retire at the end of his short-term deal with Paris Saint-Germain next week.
