Both Chelsea and Arsenal, according to unsettled QPR midfielder Adel Taarabt, have been in contact over acquiring his services over the summer. The Moroccan international has been linked with a switch away from Loftus Road after helping the R's back into the Premiership for the first time in 15 years.
Speaking to L'Equipe, the 22 year old said: "QPR will demand £10 million pounds for me, and for now, the clubs do not move too much. I had contact with Arsenal and Chelsea, but it is a little muddled [difficult]. Arsenal have not yet sold [Cesc] Fabregas, and as for Chelsea, they do not yet have a coach, so we will see."
He added: "I would like to stay in London - it is the best city in the world, and with Queens Park Rangers? Why not?
"When I talked with the coach, he told me the club would aim to be in the top eight."
