Fulham boss Jol: Taarabt offers us creativity

Fulham boss Martin Jol is delighted to have signed QPR midfielder Adel Taarabt on-loan.

Jol worked with the Morocco international when he was a young player at Tottenham and only on the fringes of the first-team squad.

"I like his creativity," Jol said after confirming a loan move was nearing completion.

"Sometimes it comes off when he scores a lot of goals and I think he was involved in 40 goals [during QPR's 2010/11 Championship promotion season].

"It is like [Fulham striker] Dimitar Berbatov - sometimes these fantastic talents will be blamed, but I hope to find a way to gel him in together with the boys we've got.

"I think he can do a hell of a job for us because he is a tremendous player on the ball."
