Esteban Granero has revealed that the passion of English fans is one of the attractions that persuaded him to join Queens Park Rangers.

The midfielder joined Mark Hughes's side from Real Madrid on Thursday and admits that he is excited to begin his career in the Premier League.

Granero told the club's official website: "I love the passion of the English fans and from what I know QPR supporters are amongst the very best.

"I think QPR will continue to grow as a club and I want to be part of a very bright future here."

The 25-year-old will wear the number 14 shirt during his time at Loftus Road.
