Redknapp to strengthen QPR squad in transfer window

QPR boss Harry Redknapp is hoping to bring in additions to stave off the threat of relegation, when the January transfer window opens. Rangers have been linked with a move for former England and Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe, who is currently playing for Toronto in the MLS.

The west London club, are second from bottom of the table, but only a point behind 17th-placed Crystal Palace.

"We are trying, we felt we have to make sure we are still in there," Redknapp said on talkSPORT.

"We have got one or two targets, and are just waiting to see if we can get them over the line."

He added: "If you are cut adrift at Christmas, you don't want to be going and getting yourself into trouble, but if we are still in there with a chance, which I think we will be, then the chairman will go out and let us get one or two players who could make the difference for us.

"I look at the table and think there are going to be seven or eight teams involved in that scrap."
