Brighton are poised for the second time to discuss a transfer with QPR for Kazenga LuaLua - but have yet to get the deal off the ground.
Rangers like the look of a player who has fallen down the pecking order at The Amex, especially as they need the speed of a winger to augment the in-form Pawel Wszolek on the other side.
However, Albion would be keener to sell rather than do a preferred Rangers loan for the 26-year-old, who is itching to leave the south coast.
Hoops are understood to be interested in August, but Brighton blocked any move.
LuaLua tweeted the word 'disappointed' after that transfer window closed, but his club have accepted a player with only two league appearances this term is surplus to requirements.
The Congolese is also short of match fitness, and has still to serve the last of a four-match ban sent off when playing for Albion U23s against AFC Wimbledon in early December.
His current Brighton contract extends to 2018.
