Taarabt targets QPR exit

The 22-year-old is keen on a move to a bigger club ‘for financial reasons’.

The playmaker has previously been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Arsenal.

He insisted: “I want to leave QPR during the January transfer window. It is for financial reasons.”

Morocco coach Eric Gerets has recalled Taarabt for the clash with Tanzania at the weekend. Taarabt snubbed a call-up in June.

Taarabt said: “It was a youthful mistake. However, I have no regrets about what I did.”
