Harry Redknapp wants Brede Hangeland

Harry Redknapp is reportedly interested in persuading Brede Hangeland to make the short trip across West London to join Queens Park Rangers.

The Fulham captain is out of contract in the summer and has failed to sign a new deal despite ongoing talks at Craven Cottage.

Redknapp has put a central defender at the top of his shopping list in January and wants the 31-year-old to bring stability to a leaky rearguard, according to The Express.

Hangeland has become instrumental for Fulham since signing in 2008, making over 200 appearances and helping the club produce a memorable Europa League run in 2010.
