Carlton Cole will make a decision in the next two days about his next move.
Cole has come off contract at West Ham United this week.
The Mirror says QPR boss Harry Redknapp keen on his services. Crystal Palace are also interested.
If Cole moves to either Loftus Road or Selhurst Park then West Ham could find themselves in a pickle ahead of the Newcastle game.
Record signing Andy Carroll is not yet fit enough to play 90 minutes while Modibo Maiga is the club's only other available centre-forward.
