QPR ponder second bid for Hooper after Celtic snub £5m offer



QPR have had a £5million bid rejected for Celtic striker Gary Hooper but may be able to get the deal done with an extra £500,000.

Manager Harry Redknapp, who hopes to sign free agent Richard Dunne this week, has offloaded Djibril Cisse, Jay Bothroyd and DJ Campbell with Loic Remy also likely to leave with Newcastle interested.

Experience: Rangers boss Harry Redknapp also wants to sign Richard Dunne

Napoli, meanwhile, expect to fend off late interest from Villarreal to sign QPR keeper Julio Cesar on loan.

Arsenal are also thought to be keen on Cesar after missing out on Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, who signed for Liverpool.

Norwich have also confirmed the signing of FC Twente midfielder Leroy Fer but have been turned down by Ajax defender Toby Alderweireld. Norwich are also keen on Hooper.

Championship side Leicester want Celtic defender Kelvin Wilson in a £1.4million deal.

Wilson, 27, only has 12 months left on his contract and is yet to be told whether Celtic will take up a one-year option to keep him until 2015.
