QPR are preparing a bid for Brentford captain Jake Bidwell, according to The Mirror.
The former Everton full-back has racked more than 200 appearances for the Bees since he moved to Griffin Park initially on loan in November 2011.
The 23-year-old was virtually an ever present and only missed 118 minutes of the season with a hamstring injury in April.
However, Bidwell is approaching the final 12 months of his contract in west London and has yet commit his long-term future to the club.
The Hoops have made an initial enquiry but have yet to table an offer for the Southport-born defender, who is valued at £3million.
Everton also included a 50 per cent sell-on clause in the deal that saw him move permanently to the Bees in 2013.
Bidwell scored three goals for Brentford last season, all of them coming away form home.
