Championship side QPR have made an improved bid for Celtic striker Gary Hooper, Sky Sports reported this evening.
The former Scunthorpe hitman was thought to have told the Glasgow club earlier today of his desire to sign for Norwich, an interesting development which came after sources close to Hooper last week claimed that the 25 year old had set his heart on a move to London to sign for West Ham.
However, the R's have made an improved offer. The details of the bid are not yet known but it is thought likely that the offer will at least match the Canaries' £4m bid for Hooper.
The chase to land Hooper is currently a three-horse race, with Premier League new boys Hull having dropped out of the race last week, but the Irons are slacking in third, having not lodged an official transfer bid for the man who started his career at non league Grays Athletic. More details on this tomorrow.
