Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp believes that Karl Henry is the type of player that his team need.

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has praised the battling qualities of Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Karl Henry.

The midfielder is in London for a medical today ahead of a move to Loftus Road after the two clubs agreed a fee for his services last night.

Assessing his incoming recruit, Redknapp is quoted as saying by the London Evening Standard: "I've always liked Karl. He's a good sort, he's a competitor.

"He looks like he wants to win. He's captain of Wolves and whenever I came up against him he always had that attitude about him that he's very determined.

"I think he is what we need at the club. He's a bit of a leader on the pitch and he will be a big asset for us. He is having a medical and it should go through today."

Henry is reported to be costing the R's around £1m.
