QPR have completed the loan signing of Tottenham Hotspur defender Benoit Assou Ekotto .

The Frenchman has fallen down the pecking order at White Hart Lane, with boss Andre Villas-Boas preferring Danny Rose at left-back after returning from his spell at Sunderland.

The 29-year-old is yet to feature in any competition for Spurs this season and has now been given the green light to make the switch to Loftus Road.

Rangers have also raided Tottenham for young midfielder  Tom Carroll .

The Championship club have fended off competition from elsewhere to land the highly-rated England U21 international.

Meanwhile, QPR have beaten the deadline to make it a trio of deals after boss Harry Redknapp signed Croatian playmaker Niko Kranjcar for a third time.

The Dynamo Kyiv midfielder has also arrived in W12 on a season-long loan.
