Rangers swoop for Chelsea youngster

QPR have signed teenage Chelsea goalkeeper Rhys Taylor on loan.

The Wales Under-21 international has signed a deal with the Coca-Cola Championship club until January 4.

While Taylor, 19, is yet to feature for the Blues he has been a regular for the reserve team and recently signed a new deal at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2012.

"Rhys comes highly recommended and we're delighted to have him on board," QPR boss Jim Magilton told the club's website.

"It gives us the opportunity to work with a very good young goalkeeper and it gives Rhys the chance to work with a top-class goalkeeper and professional in Radek (Cerny).

"I've no doubt he'll push Radek all the way and that competition is running throughout the squad, so I couldn't be happier."
