Queens Park Rangers turn to Francis Coquelin?

Queens Park Rangers are reportedly interested in making a deadline-day move for Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin.

The Frenchman is thought to be surplus to requirements at the Emirates, having spent last season on loan with Bundesliga outfit Freiburg.

QPR boss Harry Redknapp saw his move for Lassana Diarra fall through earlier today and, according to the Daily Mail, the Londoners have turned their attention to Coquelin.

The 23-year-old, whose contract expires next summer, broke into the Gunners' first team three years ago but has since failed to solidify himself in manager Arsene Wenger's plans.
