Harry Redknapp is set to be reunited with another of his old Tottenham players with Tom Carroll poised to join QPR on loan, writes Dean Jones of the Sunday People.
Crystal Palace and Watford were keen on the midfielder – but linking up with a manager who already knows his game has pushed him towards Loftus Road.
Andros Townsend has made a flying start at White Hart Lane after spending last season on loan at QPR, and Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas hopes for a similar progression.
Meanwhile, Spurs and Stoke are mulling over deadline-day moves for Finnish sensation Joel Pohjanpalo, writes Tom Hopkinson.
The HJK Helsinki striker is out of action with an ankle injury, but that will not stop either club pressing ahead if they still have money to spend before the window closes on Monday night.
Pohjanpalo, who has been capped twice, had trials with Liverpool and France’s Monaco last year.
But the 18-year-old opted to continue his development with his hometown club and will cost around £1million.
