Sky Sports sources understand QPR have expressed an interest in Tottenham defender Sebastien Bassong.

Cameroon international is a target for newly-promoted team

Sky Sports sources understand that QPR have expressed an interest in out-of-favour Tottenham defender Sebastien Bassong. The 25-year-old was reduced to a bit-part player last season at Tottenham as they excelled in Europe, and just missed out on UEFA Champions League qualification. Bassong had expressed a desire to leave the club earlier this summer having sought clarification about his future with Harry Redknapp.

Suitable

Indeed, it is believed the club would not stand in his way if a suitable deal for the Cameroon international can be found. QPR are looking for more defensive options and are presently closing in on a deal for Anton Ferdinand from Sunderland. And Bassong would also fit that bill as they seek to bring players into their squad with Premier League experience.
