Queens Park Rangers have reportedly called time on Adel Taarabt's stay in the West London side as they look to offload the midfielder in January.

Rangers owner Tony Fernandes has instructed club officials to search for a potential suitor for the 22-year-old, according to the Daily Mail.

While the newly-promoted Premier League club are believed to be holding out for around £15m for the Morocco international, the Malaysian owners are prepared to fund new January transfers for Neil Warnock.

Rangers have been linked with moves for Fulham striker Andy Johnson as well as Tottenham Hotspur's out-of-favour frontman Jermain Defoe.
