QPR boss Redknapp keen to try again for Stoke striker Crouch

QPR boss Harry Redknapp has reaffirmed hopes of signing Stoke City striker Peter Crouch in January.

Crouch was man of the match on Saturday in the 2-2 draw between the two clubs.

Redknapp would love to get the chance to add Crouch to QPR's attacking options, which were depleted by the £8.5million departure of Loic Remy to Chelsea.

"You never know do you? I like Crouchy, he knows how to play," said Redknapp of the possibility of another reunion with the beanpole striker.

"He is a bit like Bobby (Zamora), he knows what he is doing and brings people into play and is a threat.

"If you put a ball into the box, he is going to head it - Crouchy is too tall to stop."
