Nancy midfielder Samba Diakite is close to agreeing a loan transfer to QPR, France Football reports.
The Mali international has been strongly linked with a move away from the club after establishing himself as a key member of the Ligue 1 outfit since 2010.
Lyon were understood to be frontrunners in the race to sign Diakite, but it is reported that the Stade de Gerland outfit decided not to follow up their interest in the African as they did not wish to lose him to the Africa Cup of Nations.
Diakite will reportedly join QPR on a six-month loan deal, with the Premier League side having the option to buy him outright at the end of the season.
The west London club, who sit 16th in the Premier League standings, have already signed Federico Macheda and Taye Taiwo on loan in January and are in talks with Sao Paulo regarding Henrique.
Mark Hughes' side are also close to signing Manchester City centre-back Nedum Onuoha, while a deal to sign Chelsea defender Alex appears to have fallen through, with the defender instead preferring a switch to Paris Saint-Germain.
