QPR boss Harry Redknapp says he'll try again for Toronto FC striker Jermain Defoe in January.
TFC took Defoe off the market late on transfer deadline day yesterday.
Redknapp told talkSPORT: "We tried all day with Jermain Defoe. He was keen to come. We agreed a deal with Toronto but they wouldn't release him now. We could do a deal and then take him in January but we wanted to get someone in today.
"There is every chance he will come in January. I'm a big fan of Jermain's. Almost certainly, I think we will [go back in for him]. I've signed him so many times. I've taken him everywhere."
