QPR have emerged as frontrunners in the race to sign Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal.
Arsenal were linked with M'Vila throughout 2012 and are still believed to still be showing interest in the 22-year-old after manager Arsene Wenger last week admitted he is expects to be "busy" during the current transfer window.
Manchester City and Tottenham have also been linked with the France international, but in recent days QPR have emerged as candidates to secure his signature.
And according to L'Equipe, Rangers have tabled an €8million bid for M'Vila as manager Harry Redknapp looks to strengthen his squad for the second half of the season.
The development comes after Rennes admitted M'Vila could be on the move before the end of the month.
Rennes coach Frederic Antonetti told RMC Sport: "I want to keep him, but if Rennes were to receive a suitable bid then he would leave.
"He is better and more mature, and will go. It is part of the club's policy that he will leave if he has to, only, who will replace him?"
M'Vila has admitted on more than one occasion that he keen on a move to the Premier League.
QPR are also rumoured to be closing in on the signing of Marseille striker Loic Remy, who is also available this month for the right price.
Bookmakers Sky Bet at time of writing make QPR new favourites to sign M'Vila in their Yann M'Vila Next Club market, ahead of Arsenal - who until Sunday evening had been clear favourites - and Tottenham.
