All Whites skipper Ryan Nelsen looks set to move English Premier League clubs once again with reports he will sign with Queens Park Rangers.

Skysports.com reports the Tottenham defender will undergo a medical at Queens Park Rangers in the next 24 hours.

The 34-year-old moved from Blackburn to Tottenham at the end of the January transfer window where he made eight appearances, scoring once for the east-London club.

He was signed by Spurs manager Harry Redknapp who stood down from the club yesterday which has put Nelsen's future at the club in doubt.

QPR manager Mark Hughes gave Nelsen his first taste of English football when he signed him at Blackburn in 2005.

Queens Park Rangers just avoided relegation in the recent Premier League season finishing in 17th place.

Nelsen missed the All Whites recent failed OFC Nations Cup campaign following an ankle injury he picked up toward the end of the season.
