Rumour: QPR in shock loan move for Jermain Defoe before MLS switch

Harry Redknapp Manager of Tottenham Hotspur congratulates Jermaine Defoe during the Barclays Premier League match between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur at Upton Park

According to the Mirror, Queens Park Rangers are preparing an audacious bid to sign Jermain Defoe on loan for the remainder of the season.

The Englishman has reportedly completed a move to Canada, and is set to be unveiled on Monday. The striker has joined Toronto in a bumper 4-year deal, which will see him earn £90,000-a-week.

However, the MLS does not kick into gear till March, which has prompted manager Harry Redknapp into considering a move for the 31-year.

The ambitious move might pay off in QPR’s bid to return to the Premier League, as Defoe’s goals could be a major driving force in the club achieving their primary target.

With star striker Loic Remy destined to leave the Championship club on a permanent transfer this winter, Harry Redknapp and Jermain Defoe might well be on their way to yet another reunion.
