QPR have agreed a deal with Jay Emmanuel-Thomas following his release by Bristol City.
The 24-year-old has penned a three-year contract at Loftus Road and the move will be rubber stamped when the transfer window officially opens on July 1.
Emmanuel-Thomas, who came through the ranks at Arsenal, helped the Robins earn promotion to the Championship last term by banging in 12 goals.
He told QPR’s official website: “This is a new chapter for me and I can’t wait to get started here.
“As soon as I spoke to Les and Chris and they explained the way they want QPR to play, it was an easy decision for me.
“I'm here to come in and do a job and I'm confident I can keep improving as a player.”
Hoops boss Chris Ramsey is a long-term admirer of the striker and is looking forward to working with the ex-Gunners youngster next term.
He added: “I’ve always admired Jay from afar, and I’m really delighted we’ve reached an agreement to bring him here.
“There was a lot of hype surrounding him when he was a young player at Arsenal, and although he’s had a very steady career since then, this is now a real opportunity for him to really kick on at QPR.
“We’ll give him the platform to play and express himself.
“He’s got flair, he’s a good runner with the ball and he’s got great versatility.
“He is already a very good player, but his potential to keep improving is fantastic.”
Known as JET, Emmanuel-Thomas becomes QPR’s third signing of the summer.
