With Gary Cahill set to join Chelsea, one man who certainly looks to be on his way out of the Bridge is Alex, who is on the verge of a move to Lotus Road. Chelsea have confirmed that they have accepted a bid from QPR for Brazilian defender Alex. Following the summer arrival of manager Andre Villas Boas, Alex has dropped down in the pecking order and the chances of him retaining his place in the first team are becoming increasingly low as Bolton defender Garry Cahill looks to be on his way to the bridge. Mark Hughes the new manager of Queens Park Rangers will be looking to improve a QPR side which currently sit 17th in the league table. The signing of Alex is likely to kick of a series of signings at Loftus Road after QPR owner Tony Fernandes reassured Hughes that he would be given a suitable amount of funds required for him to improve the clubs league position. Having seen limited first team opportunities at Chelsea this season, the defender made a clear statement that he isn't willing to settle for a place on the bench, by handing in a transfer request in December. QPR were one of may clubs who were alerted by Alex's demand to leave Chelsea and currently Loftus Road looks the most likely destination for the defender following an accepted bid by Chelsea from QPR for the defender. Alex is guaranteed to be a regular in the QPR eleven if a move does go through and Alex is looking to leave the club in search of first team football. As it stands QPR are the front runners for the signature of Alex.
