QPR boss Harry Redknapp is chasing Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor for the January market.
The Sun says Redknapp, who expects to bring in former Spurs man Jermain Defoe from Toronto FC, also sees Adebayor as an answer to Rangers' shortcomings up front.
Both strikers played under Redknapp when he was manager at White Hart Lane.
Redknapp is tipped to pursue a loan deal for Adebayor, 30, or a cut-price permanent transfer.
