QPR are in talks with Fulham to sign England striker Bobby Zamora after the clubs agreed a fee of £8million.
The England international has been regularly linked with a January move away from the Cottagers and could now be set for a deadline-day switch to Loftus Road.
The parties are still a way apart over personal terms for the player who is under contract at Craven Cottage until 2014.
There has been much speculation in recent months of a rift between Zamora and Cottagers boss Martin Jol.
Although the pair have both played down such talk, speculation has been rife that the striker could move to pastures new.
QPR have often been mooted as a potential destination, with speculation heightened by the arrival of Hughes at Loftus Road.
Zamora played under the Welshman last season, scoring seven goals in 16 games in all competitions.
However, Hughes is hoping he can persuade the striker to move away once he has pushed through a deal for Lazio's Djibril Cisse.
