QPR boss Harry Redknapp is eyeing Toulouse midfielder Etienne Capoue.
The London Evening Standard says Redknapp is refusing to give up and is still a huge admirer of the French international.
He said: "I tried to sign Capoue in January. I was looking for a player to control the game. It's hard at the last minute to attract players.
"If we manage to maintain our Premier League status he might be a good option."
