However, Goal.com understands that it is not yet known whether Jenas will move permanently or on a season-long loan.
The 29-year-old spent last season on loan at Aston Villa but suffered a series of injury problems and returned to London after rupturing his Achilles tendon last December.
Jenas still has two years to run on his Spurs contract after the club exercised their option to extend it by another 12 months in March.
QPR manager Mark Hughes and his West Ham counterpart Sam Allardyce are both keen to add Jenas’ experience and proven quality to their ranks.
Backed by funds from owner Tony Fernandes, Hughes has been one of the busiest Premier League managers in the transfer market this summer after the club struggled on their return to the top flight last season.
