QPR sign Vale in permanent deal

Chelsea wide player Harvey Vale has joined Queens Park Rangers for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old has made one appearance for Enzo Maresca's side this season, against Shamrock Rovers in the Uefa Conference League.

Vale has made seven first-team appearances in total for Chelsea, and he scored three goals in 47 games during a loan spell at Bristol Rovers last season.

He said on X: "From joining as a 12-year-old boy to making my debut, the memories I have made will stay with me forever.

"I want to thank all the players I've had the privilege to play alongside, the staff members who have helped develop and support me, and most importantly, the fans who have followed and stood by me every step of the way.

"I will always be grateful for the opportunity to wear this badge and achieve something I've dreamed of since I was a child."
