Wolves' Karl Henry set to seal QPR switch

The 30-year-old was due in West London to hold contract talks and undergo a medical after the clubs finally struck a deal late last night.

An agreement had stalled on Saturday when it is understood talks broke down over personal terms after Henry had travelled to the capital.

But the player and the two clubs reconvened to come to an arrangement satisfactory to all parties.

Providing he passes his medical today, Henry will sign for QPR, ending his seven-year Wolves career which made him the longest-serving outfield player.

At the heart of the discussions with QPR was Henry's contract, and with three years left on his deal and a lucrative signing-on fee due on each of those three years.

The Wolverhampton-born midfielder was due a substantial seven-figure sum from Wolves and a compromise needed to be reached.

It remains to be seen whether Henry and Barton will play together, with Barton's Rangers future unclear after spending last season on loan at Marseille.

Henry and Barton clashed when Newcastle drew 1-1 at Molineux in August 2010.

Another confrontation came after Barton scored in QPR's 3-0 win at Wolves in September 2011 and he attempted to ridicule Henry by calling him 'Kelvin' on Twitter.

Henry gave Wolves largely sterling service after being signed from Stoke by Mick McCarthy for a bargain £100,000 in July 2006.

He went on to play 272 games for Wolves, placing him 38th on the club's all-time list of appearance makers and he captained the club to the Championship title in 2009.

But, after struggling to maintain his previous form through the two relegation campaigns, new head coach Kenny Jackett placed Henry on the transfer list.

He was put up-for-sale with Roger Johnson, Stephen Ward and Jamie O'Hara with quartet banished to the under-21s.

All four were told to train with the under-21 squad by Jackett, who then excluded them from the pre-season tour of Scotland then, last week, told them they would not be keeping their squad numbers.
