Former QPR and Tottenham flop Adel Taarabt set for sensational return to AC Milan

Former QPR and Tottenham flop Adel Taarabt is closing in on a sensational return to AC Milan.

The attacking midfielder is currently training with Benfica's reserves after falling out of favour at the Portuguese club.

The Morocco international is understandably itching for a move away this month as he searches for first-team football.

And now, according to O Jogo, Milan are ready to come to Taarabt's rescue by snapping him up.

The 26-year-old spent six months on loan at the San Siro in 2014 and impressed with four goals in 16 appearances.

That spell has not been forgotten and Milan are willing to give Taarabt a lifeline by signing him on loan until the end of the season.
