QPR have made an approach to Huddersfield for goalkeeper Alex Smithies after failing to agree a fee for Southend’s Daniel Bentley.
Smithies, 25, was left out of Huddersfield’s squad for their Championship game against Blackburn on Saturday after the Yorkshire club were made aware of Rangers’ interest.
He signed a new deal in February, extending his contract until 2018, but could be set for a move to Loftus Road unless a breakthrough is reached in talks over Bentley.
QPR want to sign the highly-rated 22-year-old but have so far been unable to reach an agreement with League One club Southend so are looking at other options ahead of the transfer window closing.
Rangers also look likely to miss out on Tim Ream despite having a £1.4m bid for the United States defender accepted by Bolton.
Ream, 27, has indicated that he wants to sign for Fulham, who have also had an offer accepted.
