Crystal Palace are being linked with QPR flop Adel Taarabt.

The Daily Star Sunday says Atalanta are chasing the Morocco international.

Taarabt, 25, is desperate to re-join AC Milan following his successful loan spell there last season. But the Italians have been reluctant to shell out £3million for a player who has yet to prove his fitness at QPR this season.

Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock is also interested but Taarabt likes the idea of a move to Italy and is waiting for Atalanta to follow up their interest with a £3million bid.
