Alexander Hleb offered to QPR

Former Arsenal playmaker Alexander Hleb has been offered to QPR boss Neil Warnock, according to The Mirror.

The 30-year-old left Arsenal to join Barcelona in 2008 but his move to Spain did not work out and he has spent much of his Catalan career out on loan.

His latest loan spell at Wolfsburg has come to an abrupt end and Barcelona are willing to release him, should a club be prepared to take over his contract.

Hleb spent time on loan with Birmingham last season, but criticised their style of football in an injury-plagued spell.

The Belarus midfielder started his professional career at BATE, before moving to Stuttgart in 2000.
