Queens Park Rangers 'target shock Mark Noble swoop'

Queens Park Rangers are eyeing a shock deal for West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble, according to reports.

Noble, who could feature against Liverpool on Saturday afternoon, may struggle to feature in Sam Allardyce's long-term plans as the Hammers look set to agree a deal for Manchester United's Darren Fletcher before the end of the mid-season transfer window.

The Mirror claims that R's boss Harry Redknapp is interested in offering the Englishman a way out of Upton Park and the chance to play regular first-team football.

However, Rangers may face competition for Noble in the form of West Bromwich Albion.
