Peterborough United's leading goalscorer Conor Washington is reportedly on the verge of a £3m switch to Queens Park Rangers.

Queens Park Rangers have reportedly reached an agreement with Peterborough United to sign their striker Conor Washington.

It is thought that the R's are in the market to recruit another centre-forward following the recent departure of Charlie Austin to Southampton.

According to Sky Sports News, 23-year-old Washington is the player that has been earmarked by head coach Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to replace Austin.

The report adds that the Championship outfit have agreed to pay their League One counterparts around £3m, with the deal due to be finalised tomorrow pending a medical.

Washington is Peterborough's leading goalscorer this season, having found the net 15 times.
