Mark Hughes wants Santa Cruz, Bridge and Toure

Queens Park Rangers boss Mark Hughes is reportedly planning to launch a bid for Manchester City trio Roque Santa Cruz, Wayne Bridge and Kolo Toure.

QPR are hoping to land the players for cut-price fees with City looking to slash their wage bill.

Hughes signed all three players in his time as manager of the Premier League champions and is hoping to work with them again.

Santa Cruz, who spent the whole of last season on loan at Real Betis, could be available for around £2m. Toure, who has lost his first team place at the Etihad Stadium, is valued at £5m, while Bridge could be allowed to leave for under £1m.

QPR are hoping to sign established Premier League players following their survival on the final day of the season.
