QPR intend to bid for Stoke City striker Peter Crouch in January.
The veteran is inside the final year of his current deal.
The London Evening Standard says the former England striker is not expected to be offered a new one by Stoke manager Mark Hughes. Rangers have struggled up front this season, scoring just once in five matches.
Loic Remy moved to Chelsea for £10.5million at the end of last month and they were unable to buy a replacement before the window closed.
