Queens Park Rangers have reportedly had an offer accepted by Liverpool for Fabio Borini.
It was widely expected this summer that the Italian striker would join Sunderland, whom he turned out for on loan last season.
However, that proposed deal has still not been finalised, which has opened the door for R's manager Harry Redknapp to make a move, according to numerous reports.
It is believed that the West Londoners are prepared to part with £10m to sign the 23-year-old.
Borini was the first signing made by Brendan Rodgers when he took charge of Liverpool in 2012.
