Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has reportedly identified Scott Dann and Martin Olsson as the players to improve his team's defence.

Redknapp's assistant Joe Jordan reportedly watched Olsson recently after West Ham United's move for the Sweden international failed.

Dann has been relegated for the past two seasons while at Birmingham City and Rovers but QPR believe that the 25-year-old can fill the void that will be left by Ryan Nelsen, who will leave to manage Toronto FC on February 1.

Redknapp is prepared to pay £4m for Dann while Olsson is expected to be available for around £3m, according to The Mirror.

QPR are currently five points from safety at the bottom of the Premier League.
