QPR star Adel Taarabt has made no attempt to hide his interest in making a move to Premiership rivals Arsenal. According to reports, the attacking midfielder is being monitored by Arsene Wenger.

Taarabt said: "I like the London clubs. I do not hide my liking for Chelsea [although] I would prefer to play regularly at QPR to being on the bench for a season at Chelsea. Now, if they told me I'd play 20 games per season, I think I'd be very tempted.

"I would have had a better chance at Arsenal. I would progress with Arsene Wenger. He is a legend in France, one of the best managers in the world."
