QPR chasing Cardiff defender Caulker

QPR are chasing Cardiff City defender Steven Caulker.

The Daily Mail says QPR have placed a bid for the Cardiff City centre-back and ideally want to team him with Rio Ferdinand at the heart of a new-look defence.

Rangers are one of several clubs keen on the 22-year-old England international, who is expected to leave Cardiff following their relegation last season and has a release clause in his contract.

Although there is interest from Southampton, Swansea, Liverpool and Everton, manager Harry Redknapp hopes to persuade him of Rangers' ambition and convince him that alongside Ferdinand he can play regularly and lay claim to an England place again.
