Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole is desperate to move to QPR on-loan in January.
The People says contact has been made as Rangers attempt to discover whether a loan deal could be on the cards - and Cole is keen.
The midfielder, 31, has seen his career stutter over the past three seasons as injuries and form have impacted on him.
He is struggling to make any impression at Liverpool and is only being used as a bit-part player, but believes Rs boss Harry Redknapp could get the best out of him.
