QPR chiefs are against a move for Toronto FC striker Jermain Defoe in January.
The People says Rs boss Harry Redknapp has confirmed he is keen to revive his summer move for the 32-year-old FC Toronto marksman to help shoulder the goalscoring burden.
Senior figures in the boardroom, however, are firmly against it and want chairman Tony Fernandes to veto the move.
It is understood that those opposing the move fear Defoe's age counts against him and that Fernandes, a big fan, would be carried away by the England striker's past achievements.
