QPR want Jermaine Jenas on loanBy CARL LONG
Published: Today
NEIL WARNOCK has launched an ambitious bid to sign Jermaine Jenas on loan.QPR boss Warnock is reviving a move for the Tottenham midfielder following Tony Fernandes' takeover at Loftus Road last week.
Rangers want the England inter-national, 28, for a season with a view to a £5million permanent deal if the club avoid relegation.
Jenas, capped 21 times, has not started a league game for Spurs since April 2.
While Warnock finally has some cash to spend, he is battling against the clock to use it.
He said: "It's all right having money and making offers but getting them to sign and move on with you is a different ball game.
"In 10 days, I've got to do 12 weeks' work. In an ideal world, we've always done it early.
"It wasn't possible and we've just got to try to grasp this opportunity and strengthen the squad to give us a chance up to Christmas."
Hoops manager Warnock is also lining up a £2m bid for Luke Young.
The full-back, 32, has started Aston Villa's first two Premier League games this season.
But boss Alex McLeish is open to offers if he can land Tottenham's Alan Hutton.
Warnock has failed in an attempt to bring former Portsmouth defender Nadir Belhadj, 29, back to Britain.
QPR, Swansea and Celtic had all shown interest but Qatari side Al Sadd do not want the Algerian to leave.
