QPR boss Harry Redknapp is keen to sign Jermain Defoe in January but insists a deal has not already been struck for the former Tottenham striker.

Redknapp has signed Defoe twice before for Portsmouth and Spurs, and reports suggest a transfer has been agreed for the prolific forward with FC Toronto.
The 32-year-old, who has scored 19 goals in 55 appearances for England, came close to moving to Loftus Road in the summer before being tempted by a switch to Major League Soccer.
"He's a player we'd be interested in in January, but it depends on the expense of the deal," Redknapp said.
"Nothing is anywhere near being concluded.
"We tried to get him before the deadline (in August) but I don't think there's been any movement on that one.
"I'm a big fan of Jermain's - I've signed him enough times.
"He's a goalscorer and a player you'd obviously like at your club if possible, but the figures would have to be right.
"I haven't spoken to the chairman about it yet. We'll see. I know what we need."
