QPR are moving to snap up Etienne Capoue from Toulouse, as they battle to bring in new faces before the transfer window slams shut.
According to RTL, the France international has travelled to London to negotiate a move to Loftus Road, with QPR having lodged a bid of €10M with Toulouse.
Capoue’s advisers have indicated that the midfielder wants to leave Toulouse and QPR are keen to pick up the France star.
There are other sides that have been tracking Capoue though and there could yet be more offers for the 24-year-old.

Capoue has been linked with Bayern Munich, although it appears unlikely the German giants will bring in a player without having first discussed it with incoming coach Pep Guardiola.
Meanwhile, Everton are admirers of Capoue, with their interest having been noted in France.
Should the Toffees fail to complete their proposed move for FC Twente midfielder Leroy Fer, they could well switch their attention to Capoue.
