Meanwhile, Rams striker Luke Varney looks set for a season elsewhere as the club negotiate a deal for him to go out on loan.
QPR and Varney's former club Charlton are amongst a list of teams keen on securing his services for the remainder of the campaign.
"It is getting very close to a deal being done," said Clough.
"It will probably be a season-long loan with a view to a permanent move. There are just a few loose ends to tie up."
I'd be surprised if he went to QPR.
I know Warnock is never happy while he has less than 52 strikers on the books, but for a club that has loads of money and aspirations of getting promoted, I would have thought they would aim a little higher.
QPR are all about their sensational midfield, they haven't really got anything upfront.
Apart from him!
That was an odd signing.
