ADEL Taarabt’s future at QPR hangs in the balance – despite the midfielder’s return to form.
Neil Warnock admitted the mercurial talent might have played his last game in hoops even though he has had his eyes opened by Taarabt’s performances during the holiday games.
The 22-year-old is on the way to the African Cup of Nations with Morocco, as is team-mate Armand Traore for Senegal.
But the Rangers boss was guarded over keeping a player who has caused him more than a few headaches in the recent past.
“I just don’t know honestly, and it would be fair to say what happens to Adel is in the balance,” said Warnock. “I’ve not received any firm bids for him, but there is two and a bit weeks to go in the window – and we’ll have to wait and see.
“I don’t think it will matter he’s away with Morocco. These days deals can be done easily with modern technology.
“But he’s been fantastic for us over the last few games. He knew he had to knuckle down and become more of a team player – and he has.
“He’s lost weight, looked sharper, and been an all-round better player.”
But there has been constant speculation linking the former Spurs player with a host of European clubs, notably Paris St Germain.
Warnock even joked that if the French came in with a multi-million pound bid for Taarabt, he would drive him there himself.
Team-mate Shaun Derry also reckoned the midfielder was in danger of wasting his talent, and Taarabt sat out all of November and most of December no thanks to a ‘stomach complaint’ and lack of form.
However, his link-up play against Norwich, Arsenal and Swansea made him arguably the Rangers player over Christmas, and Rangers would be looking for a minimum £6million from would-be suitors.
