Leon Balogun 'set' for QPR exit as ex-Rangers ace enters final weeks of deal

Leon Balogun looks to be on his way out of Queen's Park Rangers.

The former Rangers defender is among eight players poised to leave Loftus Road this summer.

The Nigeria international signed for the West London club last summer, hooking up with Michael Beale following their time spent together in Glasgow.

He penned a one-year deal and has gone on to make 16 appearances for the R's.

They narrowly avoided relegation from the Championship, with Gareth Ainsworth managing to guide them to safety.

Balogun's season essentially ended in March after suffering a serious hamstring injury which has kept him out of the side since.

And West London Sport reports that the centre-half will be part of Ainsworth's squad cull in the coming weeks.

Former Scotland stars Chris Martin and Jordan Archer are expected to follow out of the door.

Meanwhile, Rangers will reportedly listen to offers for Antonio Colak this summer.

It's been said that there were clubs in Germany and the United States who tried to swoop for the Croatian in January.

Those offers were knocked back by Ibrox boss Michael Beale, who was still getting familiar with his first-team squad at the club since his return in November last year. 

Beale is set to massively overhaul his squad at the club this summer, after another trophyless season for the Light Blues.

The Englishman very much wants to put his own stamp on things, having already drafted in Todd Cantwell and Nicolas Raskin earlier this year.
