Queens Park Rangers continue Kolbeinn Sigthorsson pursuit?

Queens Park Rangers have reportedly stepped up their pursuit of Ajax striker Kolbeinn Sigthorsson.

It's believed that the R's had an initial offer of £5m for the 24-year-old recently rejected by their Dutch counterparts.

However, discussions between the two clubs have restarted, with QPR manager Harry Redknapp hopeful that the negotiations will soon reach a successful conclusion, according to the London Evening Standard.

The report added that Ajax are keen to receive around £10m for the Icelandic international.

Meanwhile, Redknapp is also thought to be preparing a bid for Norwich City centre-forward Gary Hooper, who turned down a move to Loftus Road last summer.
