Queens Park Rangers have signed veteran left-back Paul Konchesky on a season-long deal from Leicester City.
The former Liverpool player was told that he had no future at the Foxes by new manager Claudio Ranieri, and Rangers have moved quickly to get their man.
Boss Chris Ramsey told the club's official website: "I'm really pleased we've managed to get Paul in ahead of Saturday.
"Left-back is an area we're light on in terms of numbers at the moment owing to a couple of injuries, so Paul will come in and compete for the shirt immediately.
"He's got years of experience playing in both the Premier League and the Championship and he'll come in and add that knowledge and know-how, as well as his undoubted defensive qualities, to the group."
QPR face Charlton Athletic on the opening day of the new season.
