Bassong's move from Tottenham to QPR halted

Sebastien Bassong's proposed move from Tottenham to QPR will not go ahead.

The French centre-back was set to depart White Hart Lane if Spurs were successful in their pursuit of Bolton's Gary Cahill but with the North London club missing out on the England international, they have had to call off the move.

"That one's off. To be honest when we couldn't get Gary Cahill we had to pull the plug on Seb going to QPR," manager Harry Redknapp told Sky Sports News.

"It was a bit unfortunate for Neil Warnock and I felt sorry for Neil because he was looking to sign Seb on a loan deal or semi-permanent deal almost but once Gary Cahill fell through we couldn't let him go."
