QPR boss rules out midfielder exit

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has dismissed rumours linking midfielder Adel Taarabt with a January exit from the club.

The Moroccan international had spent the past season on loan with AC Milan and recent reports had claimed that the Hoops may allow the player's permanent transfer to Italy in the winter transfer window.

However, Redknapp has brushed off reports insisting that the 25-year-old has no impending interest from any club.

"I know nothing about that. The first thing we need is to get him fit to play." He said. "He had the green light to leave in the summer but there was no-one. Milan didn't come in for him. He's always had the green light."

Taarabt joined the West London club from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2010.
