QPR are battling it out with Arsenal for AC Milan midfielder Nigel de Jong.

The Dutch star wants to quit the San Siro after Clarence Seedorf was axed as boss and replaced by Filippo Inzaghi, according to The Sun.

De Jong, who spent three-and-a-half years in England with Manchester City, has just 12 months remaining on his contract and could be offered the chance to return to the Premier League.

The 29-year-old enforcer featured 41 times for the Rossoneri last season, scoring twice.
