QPR are confident of wrapping up a permanent deal for Amos

Warburton has identified Amos as one of his primary targets in this transfer window, with Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock also expressing an interest in signing the Spurs academy graduate.

A serious knee injury curtailed Amos’s pathway to the Tottenham first team in 2018 just when he appeared to be forging himself into then Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino’s first-team plans.

talkSPORT understands that the two clubs are finalising a deal, with Spurs likely to receive a nominal fee for Amos – whose current contract expires next summer.

A defensive midfielder by trade, Amos was an ever-present for the Rs last season making 34 appearances across all competitions.

Meanwhile, the west London side are braced for further bids coming in for prized asset Ebere Eze.

talkSPORT exclusively revealed that Rangers had turned down a deal worth an initial £8m plus £4m in add-ons from Crystal Palace for the talented playmaker.

The Rs are standing firm on their £20m asking price for Eze as things stand, with West Ham also interested in signing the Greenwich-born attacker.

Eze, 22, has indicated that Palace would be his preferred choice out of the two clubs.
