QPR hope to wrap up a deal for Jay Bothroyd today.
The striker, who began his career at Arsenal, is a free agent after leaving Cardiff at the end of last season.
Negotiations with the 28-year-old, who won his only England cap when he played against France last November, broke down last month over his salary demands.
QPR have a strict wage structure in place but manager Neil Warnock has convinced the board to part with more funds.
And the newly-promoted Premier League side are also close to agreeing a £1.25million deal for Blackpool striker DJ Campbell.
