Harry Redknapp is hoping to bring in additions that could help QPR stave off the threat of relegation, when the January transfer window opens.
Rangers have been linked with a move for former England and Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe, who is currently playing for Toronto in the MLS.
Boss Redknapp believes chairman Tony Fernandes will back him in the transfer market provided the Hoops are not way off the pace in the fight for Premier League survival.
The west London club, are second from bottom of the table, but only a point behind 17th-placed Crystal Palace.
"We are trying, we felt we have to make sure we are still in there," Redknapp said on talkSPORT.
"We have got one or two targets, and are just waiting to see if we can get them over the line."
QPR drew 2-2 at home with Manchester City before the international break and host Newcastle on Saturday, knowing they have a tough task on their hands, with the Magpies now very much on the up having at one time looked set for a survival battle themselves.
Redknapp added: "If you are cut adrift at Christmas, you don't want to be going and getting yourself into trouble, but if we are still in there with a chance, which I think we will be, then the chairman will go out and let us get one or two players who could make the difference for us.
"I look at the table and think there are going to be seven or eight teams involved in that scrap."
