Redknapp reunion: QPR win the race to sign Livermore on loan from Spurs

QPR have won the race to sign Spurs midfielder Jake Livermore on-loan for the rest of the season.



The Premier League's bottom club saw off competition from a number of Premier League teams, including Everton, Norwich, West Brom and Reading, to sign the midfielder.



Harry Redknapp managed Livermore at Spurs and is believed to have had a big influence on the midfielder's decision to move to Loftus Road.

He was only allowed to leave on loan as Andre Villas-Boas believes he has a long-term future at White Hart Lane.

Sportsmail reported this week that Everton's bid to sign Livermore was rejected because Tottenham will not strengthen one of their rivals for the Champions League places.

Livermore started the season strongly, making his England debut against Italy in August and forcing his way into the first team before he had a hernia operation, which ruled him out for six weeks.



Sandro and Mousa Dembele have since established an excellent partnership and the return of Scott Parker after six months out with an achilles injury will limit his chances but Spurs are keen for Livermore to gain more Premier League experience.
