Premier League outfit Queens Park Rangers have decided to call off their interest in Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder Lassana Diarra, according to the BBC.
QPR boss Harry Redknapp was confident about pulling off the deal and had in fact announced that Diarra had passed his medical and was about to join the club soon.
However, a late hitch between the player and the Russian outfit now means that the deal has fallen through.
Diarra has been a long time admirer of manager Redknapp and was eager to secure a move to England this summer.

He also earned 28 caps for the French national side between 2007 and 2010.
