Tottenham midfielder keen to secure move to QPR

Steven Pienaar is growing increasingly frustrated that Tottenham are standing in the way of a possible move to Queens Park Rangers, Sky Sports understands. The South Africa international is on the fringes of the first-team squad at White Hart Lane and a number of sides had looked at his situation. But Spurs are digging their heels in and are demanding at least £6million for the former Everton midfielder - which is putting off potential suitors. QPR, though, remain on his trial and are hoping to persuade Spurs to do a deal before next week's deadline.

Frustrated

Pienaar, though, is agitated that he is being denied the chance to link up with Mark Hughes at Loftus Road. A source close to the deal told Sky Sports: "Steven is very frustrated at what is going on. "Spurs are pricing him out of a move, as they really don't want to let him go. "We are now just hoping that Spurs lower their valuation and allow Steven to make the move."
