QPR have announced the signing of Bosnia and Herzegovina international Asmir Begovic ahead of the new English Championship season.
The goalkeeper has signed a one year deal with the club after the expiration of his contract with Everton.
“This is a huge signing for QPR and for me personally,” QPR manager Gareth Ainsworth said, speaking to the club’s website.
“People I talk to in the game cannot recommend his professionalism, the way he is around the place and the leadership he’ll bring highly enough.
“Asmir is going to add so much. I’m really looking forward to working with him and the boys are excited for him to come in as well.”
Ainsworth, who has moved quickly to replace Dieng, added: “Seny has been magnificent for this football club over the years and hopefully he goes and takes his chance at Middlesbrough.
“Asmir is coming in as our number one and I am hoping he can be the first of many names to join this club for the upcoming season in which I intend to change the whole feeling around the place.
“To have someone with the presence of Asmir Begović walking into the building is brilliant and I want to thank Gavin Ward, Lee Hoos and the board who have all played a massive part in making it happen.”
