Arthur deal in doubt

Last updated : 05 February 2004 By Tony Scholes

According to Loftus Road sources it is virtually a done deal with Arthur going back initially on loan before signing on a permanent basis for a small fee. The clubs have reached agreement as have QPR with Arthur.

But it looks as though he will now be remaining at the Turf for the time being simply because of the hamstring injury that is currently keeping him out of action – the one he sustained apparently quickstepping.

It does look though that Arthur’s time at Burnley is coming to an end and QPR are expected to sign him just as soon as he is fit.
