QPR reportedly beat off competition from three Premier League clubs to secure Simpson’s services, and the youngster has himself said that a meeting with Jim Magilton convinced him to move to Loftus Road at this crucial juncture of his career
Simpson has been at Arsenal since 1999, and has been loaned out to Millwall and West Bromwich Albion in the past.
