Taarabt tipped to leave and Chelsea are again linked with Khedira

There is more speculation about Adel Taarabt’s future after his adviser was quoted in the Italian media as saying the player could leave QPR in January, possibly for Serie A.

Rangers have been looking to sell Taarabt for some time. He ended last season on loan at AC Milan but was unable to secure a permanent move there during the summer.

But The Daily Mirror claim Milan have renewed their interest after Rangers apparently indicated he could leave.

The Daily Express also suggest Taarabt could be on his way back to Milan and report yesterday’s news that Sandro has been given the all-clear to return to training after suffering a knock to the head against Southampton.

Several newspapers, including the Mirror, pick up on comments by Rio Ferdinand appearing to mock Manchester City’s home crowd for the game against Roma.

QPR’s former Manchester United defender tweeted: “How many empty seats are there at the City vs Roma game by the way…big CL game & fans would rather watch Ramsays Kitchen or something at home.”

Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s Germany star Sami Khedira has again been linked with a move to Chelsea by the Daily Star.

The midfielder, who played under Blues boss Jose Mourinho at Real, is also said to be a target for Arsenal.

It is suggested that Khedira, 27, could move to the Premier League on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the season.
