QPR are set to go head-to-head with Tottenham for the services of Blackburn star Junior Hoilett. Boss Steve Kean has admitted that the club will have to listen to offers for the 21-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season. talkSPORT understands that Venky's, Blackburn's owners, want around £7m for Academy product, who has been at the club since he was 13. QPR and Spurs value Hoilett at only around £4m though and that leaves the Ewood Park club in a precarious position. Rovers will have to decide whether to sell a star player who could help them beat the drop, or keep him and risk losing Hoilett for a fraction of the price at a summer tribunal. If Neil Warnock beats Spurs to the Canadian star it could be a double Blackburn raid following QPRâs £5m bid for skipper Christopher Samba. This could be a good signing!

Can play on either flank, though apparently we face competition from Spurs for both he and Samba. Yids seem to be a thorn in our side on the transfer front, all media speculation of course
I said all along that we should look into proper wingers as the solution/part of the solution, and not only strikers. Good service and even Hulse will score! Hoilett would be a steal, with only 6 months left of his contract maybe we got a chance? If it fails i would love for us to try and get either Matt Jarvis or Jerome Thomas.
We get Samba and Hoilett, and a competitor for survival in the Prem loses their two best players - it doesn't get much better than this...unless they took Hulse as well
Hoilett, AJ, Yakubu... at least Warnock seems to be going after some decent strikers! Any of these in addition to a fit DJ and Macheda should mean we've got a few fresh options up front, good stuff!
