QPR chasing Toronto FC striker Defoe

QPR are chasing Toronto FC striker Jermain Defoe today.

The Mirror says Harry Redknapp is plotting an audacious deadline day swoop for striker Defoe as a replacement for Chelsea signing Loic Remy.

Defoe, currently in England, is aware of the interest from the Hoops - and has been for several days, as contact was made with his camp before Remy's move to Stamford Bridge.

The 31-year-old England international is recovering from a groin injury, but it is not thought to be a hurdle to a possible deal.
