Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has insisted that Adel Taarabt will be staying at the club.
Redknapp sold the 23-year-old to QPR in 2010 when he was in charge at Tottenham Hotspur.
However, the 65-year-old has admitted that he regretted selling the Moroccan playmaker.
"It was just he couldn't get into the side and the chairman decided if he wasn't going to play, we might as well sell him and get a big sell-on if he made a success at QPR," said Redknapp.
"I would have kept him around because I always felt he was a player you could bring off the bench and he could change a game for you, but Adel is okay. He's got a part to play for us, for sure."
Redknapp oversaw his new side for the first time in Tuesday's goalless draw at Sunderland.
