Toronto move for Hogan Ephraim, Robert Earnshaw

Toronto club president Kevin Payne has revealed that the club are close to signing Queens Park Rangers midfielder Hogan Ephraim on loan.

The MLS outfit have also invited Cardiff City striker Robert Earnshaw for a trial, with the Welshman's contract expiring at the end of the season.

"We're in hopefully the final stages of signing him to a loan agreement with Queens Park Rangers. We hope that will be concluded in the next day or two," he was quoted as saying on the official MLS website.

"[Earnshaw] arrives to take a look at us and for us to take a look at him to see if that's a fit that might work. It's a little too early to tell if that's going to happen."

Reports have also suggested that Tottenham Hotspur midfielder John Bostock could arrive at the club.
