Queens Park Rangers are believed to have lodged a bid in the region of £5m for Blackburn Rovers captain Chris Samba.
The defender, who has been linked with a number of clubs in recent weeks, may be close to leaving Ewood Park following QPR's approach to the Lancashire club.
The 27-year-old has been touted as a possible new signing for Neil Warnock, and it appears that Rangers have stepped up their interest in the centre-back, according to Sky Sports News.
Blackburn boss Steve Kean will be eager to keep hold of his skipper, but may be forced to relinquish the Frenchman due to Rovers' disappointing Premier League campaign.
Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with the defender, who has reportedly been valued at £10m by Rovers.
