Newcastle United are maintaining interest in QPR midfield schemer Adel Taarabt.
The Sunday Sun says United had scouts at Turf Moor yesterday to watch QPR take on Burnley, a move that might lend credence to a link with Taarabt that emerged earlier this month.
The former Tottenham midfielder has lit up the Championship this season.
And Toon boss Alan Pardew says he would not think twice buying from outside the Premier League this month.
