QPR have confirmed the decision to name Stefan Johansen as their new captain ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.
During his loan stint at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, midfielder Stefan Johansen became a firm fan favourite among QPR fans.
The Norwegian ace starred in his 21 outings for the Rs, netting three goals and providing two assists along the way.
Since then, Johansen has returned to the club on a permanent basis, joining Mark Warburton’s side in a thoroughly impressive summer at Loftus Road.

Excellent appointment.
We have a number of leaders on the pitch and in the dressing room. Stefan has the experience, having been Captain of his country, to be the link for the QPR team.— Peter Hamm (@PeterHamm10) August 5, 2021
