Harry Redknapp is reportedly "very close" to agreeing a deal to become the new manager of Queens Park Rangers.

The Hoops sacked Mark Hughes earlier today and the former Tottenham Hotspur boss was immediately made the undisputed favourite to replace him.

It is understood that QPR officials have been in talks with the 65-year-old and his representatives this afternoon and that an agreement is near to completion.

According to Sky Sports News, the Premier League's bottom club are not in discussions with any other candidate and see Redknapp as the only man for the job.

Redknapp has been out of work since being sacked by Spurs this summer.
