Albert Adomah set to join QPR after leaving Nottingham Forest

Ghanaian winger Albert Adomah is on the verge of signing for Queens Park Rangers (QPR) on a free transfer after leaving Nottingham Forest by mutual consent today.

Adomah, 32, was not training with the Forest first-team and was said to not be in the plans of coach Sabri Lamouchi. 

GraphicOnline understands that Adomah, a Rangers fan, secured a financial settlement before leaving Forest.

The seasoned Championship player who turns 33 in November had a year to run on his contract but found himself down the pecking order after going on loan to Cardiff City last season.

Championship career

After impressing at Harrow Borough, Adomah was picked up by Barnet in 2008 and had spells at Bristol City, Middlesbrough and Aston Villa before signing for Forest last year.

He quickly fell out of favour at the City Ground and spent the second half of last season on loan at Cardiff City.

Adomah has previously bemoaned QPR’s failure to sign him, saying: “Ask the scouts. I’m a local boy and played on the Astroturf pitch next door.”

Rangers did express an interest in him while he was at Middlesbrough, in January 2016, as part of a proposed swap deal involving Matt Phillips, but it came to nothing.

Speaking after scoring twice against them at Loftus Road for Aston Villa in 2017, he said: “I’m a QPR fan. That’s why I didn’t really want to jump for joy when I scored.

“QPR are a very strong team – obviously I know that because I follow them.

“The majority of my friends, especially the local ones, support QPR.”
