QPR have stepped up their interest in Fulham contract rebel Andy Johnson .

The former England frontman looks set to leave Craven Cottage this month after rejecting a new one-year deal in SW6.

Blackburn are also keen on the £2million rated frontman, who is currently sidelined with a groin injury, with Fulham set to cash in on Johnson rather than lose him for nothing in the summer.

Rangers boss Neil Warnock is desperate to add goals to his frontline, with Manchester United's Federico Macheda set to join on loan for the rest of the season later today.

Warnock was interested in signing Johnson in the summer, but is still keen to push through a deal for the 11-goal hitman, who scored a hat-trick against QPR earlier this season.
