QPR are interested in Bolton midfielder Jay Spearing, the Sunday People claim.

Aston Villa are also said to be keen on the 25-year-old, who was named Wanderers captain before the start of the season.

Meanwhile, Lassana Diarra has been tipped to sign for QPR after being sacked by Lokomotiv Moscow.

The Mail on Sunday say Diarra, 29, is poised to move to Loftus Road after being shown the door by the Russian club – where he was reportedly paid £80,000 a week – after he refused to train.

Midfielder Diarra, who played under Rangers boss Redknapp at Portsmouth and also had spells at Chelsea and Arsenal, is keen to return to London.
