Adel Taarabt: 'Arsenal, Chelsea have shown interest in me'

QPR captain Adel Taarabt has claimed that he has received transfer interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.

The midfielder, formerly of Spurs, said that manager Neil Warnock would not let him go for less than £10 million.

"QPR are demanding £10 million for me, and for now, clubs aren’t moving too much," he told L'Equipe. "I had contact with Arsenal and Chelsea, but it is a little muddled. “Arsenal have not yet sold [Cesc] Fabregas, and as for Chelsea, they do not yet have a coach, so we will see."

He added that he would be happy to remain at QPR - recently promoted to the Premier League - and revealed that the club was aiming to finish the season towards the top of the table.

"I would like to stay in London - it is the best city in the world, and with Queens Park Rangers,” he said. “Why not? When I talked with the coach, he told me the club would aim to be in the top eight."
