Taarabt will stay, says Hughes

Mark Hughes is confident Adel Taarabt will stay at QPR in January after admitting the Moroccan will be key to the club’s chances of staying in the Premier League.

Taarabt has been one this season’s rare successes at the west London club, who are looking to win their first game of the season at the 11th attempt as they visit Stoke today.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if clubs were looking at him but I know for a fact he is very happy here and he sees his future here,” Hughes said.
