QPR WANT Adel Taarabt for the entirety of next season after the Spurs youngster's impressive performances over the last five matches.

The 19-year-old Moroccan has dazzled the faithful with a blend of audacious dribbling skills and enthusiasm for the Rs cause that resulted in the winning goal in the 2-1 triumph over Bristol City last month.

Tottenham are unwilling to sell Taarabt to Rangers, but will view a longer loan campaign in the Championship as a learning curve in the midfielder's development. However, the jury's still out over whether to offer Spanish midfielder Jordi Lopez a new deal when his current contract runs out in July.

The former Real Mallorca player scored a stunning free-kick in the same Bristol match as

Taarabt - but injury curtailed a perfect run in March and earlier this month. And doubts over the 28-year-old's fitness scuppered his move to Birmingham in December. An Rs insider said: "It will depend on how the new manager sees things, as well as Jordi's wage demands."
