Bolton Wanderers remain in the frame for Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha.
The People says Trotters boss Owen Coyle has been trailing centre-half Onuoha, 24, for weeks, as cover for Arsenal target Gary Cahill. Onuoha is available for sale, with QPR ready to pay £3.5million to take him to London.
Everton and Blackburn Rovers are keen on a loan move, but could turn that into cash if they sell Phil Jagielka and Chris Samba respectively.
Bolton, though, are leading the chase because they would look for a permanent deal, with the added benefit of allowing the player to stay in the area.
