Adel Taarabt: Says he is still happy at QPR
TAARABT FLATTERED BY NAPOLI LINK

Adel Taarabt has admitted it is nice to be linked to a club like Napoli but insists he is happy at Queens Park Rangers.
Taarabt was a transfer target for Paris St Germain during the summer but a move failed to materialise and it remains to be seen if the French club will rekindle their interest.
Speculation over the Moroccan playmaker's future has yet to die down and fresh reports suggest Napoli could be set to enter the race for his signature in January.
Taarabt does not mind attracting attention but accepts that it is for QPR to decide whether he leaves Loftus Road.
The 22-year-old maintains that he currently has no intention of moving as he is enjoying life with the London club.
"I am flattered by my name being linked with an enormous club like Napoli who the best player of all time (Diego Maradona) played for," Taarabt told skysports.com.
"QPR know there is interest so it is up to them but I am happy to win games for them and the future will tell.
"For the moment I am happy here."

Alexis Sanchez: Joined Barcelona this summer
UDINESE: SANCHEZ REJECTED MAN CITY

Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo has revealed that Alexis Sanchez rejected Manchester City for Barcelona during the summer transfer window.
Sanchez, 22, joined Barca from the Italian club on a five-year contract, with Udinese bagging €26million as a transfer fee.
That amount could rise to around €37m depending on how the reigning Spanish and European champions fare with the Chile international in their ranks.
However, Udinese could have earned as much as €45m right away had Sanchez taken up the offer placed on the table by ambitious English side Manchester City, according to the Udine outfit's chief.
"The final price was €26m plus another €11m in variables," Pozzo told Ona FM.
"He only wanted to sign for Barcelona and because of that the negotiations were not easy.
"There were offers from England that were higher, a €45m one from Manchester City to be precise."
Sanchez has recently returned to first-team training with Barcelona, having been out of action since September 10 when he suffered a hamstring injury in the 2-2 away draw with Real Sociedad.
