Queens Park Rangers boss Mark Hughes has admitted that there is still a possibility of signing Michael Dawson in the January transfer window.
The England defender has fallen out of favour at Tottenham Hotspur and Hughes was keen to sign him over the summer.
"Maybe Michael's situation had happened too quickly for him to understand what his future is at Spurs," said Hughes.
"We took it as far as we were able to and he would have been a good acquisition but it wasn't to be.
"In January that might be different if he is still out of the team, but we may have moved on by then."
Dawson failed to agree personal terms with QPR after a £9m fee was agreed in the summer.
