QPR are hoping to push through a loan move for Tomer Hemed.

The Brighton striker is way down the pecking order on the south coast, meaning that a move to the Championship could suit all parties.

The Hoops are in need of attacking reinforcements, and according to Sky Sports, McClaren is thought to be keen on a move.

Football.London understands that while a permanent move was the preference before last week's deadline, the Hoops are now looking towards a season-long loan deal.

Hemed has an excellent record in the Championship having scored 30 goals in 73 games for the Seagulls.

QPR have made no secret of their desire to bring in attacking reinforcements during this transfer window.

The Hoops have also been linked with a move for Nakhi Wells as they look to add experience to the squad.

Angel Rangel arrived at the club yesterday on a short-term deal, but QPR are reportedly keen to add another two players to the squad before the end of the month.

Steve McClaren's side will be able to complete loan signings until the end of August, meaning the club could, in theory, sign Hemed on loan with a view to signing him next summer when the club's transfer embargo would be lifted.
