Report: Adel Taarabt close to Fulham move

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Adel Taarabt is reportedly close to joining Fulham on a season-long loan deal.

The Moroccan international, who had been widely linked with a move abroad this summer, is one of a number of players expected to leave Loftus Road before the end of August.

A number of clubs have been credited with an interest in his services, but according to The Telegraph, Fulham have emerged as the favourites to acquire the attacker on a loan deal.

Fulham manager Martin Jol, who has been criticised for his inactivity in the transfer market this summer, worked with Taarabt when the pair were at Tottenham Hotspur.
