Buzsaky Becomes QPR's Third Announced Signing of The Day-
QPR Official Site - EXCLUSIVE: BUZSAKY SIGNS
Queens Park Rangers Football Club are delighted to announce the permanent signing of Hungarian international Akos Buzsaky.
The Plymouth Argyle midfielder - who joined the R's on loan in October - has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half year contract, after the two Clubs agreed an undisclosed fee for his services.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Buzsaky - who is now tied to the Club until the summer of 2010 - revealed his delight at the move, commenting: "I'm very excited about the future.
"I have enjoyed the last two months and we're improving from game to game.
"The Rangers supporters are very passionate and they really want to see this Club going forward and being in the Premiership, where it should be.
"I am sure, like me, they are looking forward to a new era."
When asked about the QPR fans and their chant labelling him 'The White Pele,' Buzsaky said: "It's a little bit unrealistic, but when supporters sing about you, it shows that they are fond of you, which is great."
The Magical Magyar has been something of a revelation since his loan move from Home Park earlier this season, scoring six goals in just 13 appearances for the R's. QPR

Posted on: Wed 02 Jan 2008
Following the conclusion of his loan spell at Layer Road, defender Matt Connolly has now joined QPR on a permanent basis.
Matt headed back to Arsenal yesterday after the Premiership club activated a recall clause in his season long loan with the U's.
And, as expected, he has now made the full time move to the U's Championship rivals on a three and a half year contract.
"It's very difficult to make the breakthrough at a Club like Arsenal, so when QPR made an offer I knew it was the right time to move on," he told www.qpr.co.uk.
"Arsenal provided me with a great launch pad, but I need to be playing first team football at my age and this is a fantastic Club for me to pursue my career at."
Matt is one of two former U's to sign for QPR on Wednesday, with Hogan Ephraim following up his earlier loan spell with the R's by joining them on a permanent basis." Colchester

QPR Official Site - EPHRAIM SIGNS
Queens Park Rangers Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of attacking midfielder Hogan Ephraim.
The highly-rated West Ham United winger, who spent three months on loan in W12 earlier this season, has joined for an undisclosed fee, penning a three-and-a-half year contract.
Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Ephraim expressed his delight at the move, commenting: "I'm so pleased to be back here.
"I really enjoyed my time here on loan earlier this season and when the Club showed an interest in offering me a permanent deal, I was made up.
"It's a great time to be at QPR. Big things are going to happen here - the new owners are very ambitious."
Ephraim added: "It has been a nightmare watching the Rangers results on Soccer Saturday in the last few weeks, because I just want to be playing football.
"The last minute goal at Plymouth was a real choker for the lads, but the result against Watford showed just what this group of players are capable of.
"Things appear to be improving under the new Manager and I can't wait to get started."
The 19 year-old, who made 13 appearances in all competitions for the R's during his first spell in W12, scoring two goals, instantly adhered himself to the QPR faithful, with his trademark celebration of pretending to shoot a basketball into a Hoop earning him the vocal backing of the R's support.
"That's just something me and my mates do when we're out and my girlfriend was in the crowd when I scored my first goal at Loftus Road, so I knew she'd appreciate it," added Ephraim.
"There's a few more in the locker too, so I can't wait to start finding the back of the net."
Ephraim will wear squad number 25. QPR
