QPR 'want Sebastien Bassong in January'

Queens Park Rangers are ready to make a move for Tottenham defender Sebastien Bassong in January, according to The Mirror.

The 25-year-old had been linked with Rangers during the summer transfer window but was forced to stay at White Hart Lane after Spurs failed to sign Gary Cahill from Bolton.

QPR manager Neil Warnock will discuss transfer targets with chairman Tony Fernandes on Thursday and Bassong is reportedly likely to be top of the list.

"We have already begun talking about what we are going to do in January and have a number of ideas," said Warnock.

"There are so many things that are possibilities and if I ask for a certain player, the board will support me. At the moment, a striker and a defender are my two priorities."

Bassong moved to Tottenham from Newcastle in 2010 and has gone on to make 40 appearances for Spurs.
