Taarabt set for Fulham medical

Martin Jol has confirmed QPR playmaker Adel Taarabt will undergo a medical at Fulham on Tuesday ahead of a proposed loan move.A firm fans' favourite at Loftus Road, the 24-year-old last summer extended his contract with the Hoops amid reported interest from Paris St Germain.However, Taarabt has had a tumultuous summer at relegated QPR and is now set to join west London rivals Fulham."We agreed everything with the club so the only thing we have to do is a medical," Jol said."If that is sound and good, he will join us. The medical will be tomorrow."I like his creativity and, of course, sometimes it comes off when he scores a lot of goals and I think he was involved in 40 goals [during the 2010/11 Championship promotion season]."It is like Dimitar Berbatov - sometimes these fantastic talents will be blamed but I hope to find a way to gel him in together with the boys we've got."I think he can do a hell of a job for us because he is a tremendous player on the ball."Taarabt moved to England from Lens in 2007, linking up with a Tottenham side then managed by Jol."I have known him now for a long time," the Dutchman added. "When I was at Hamburg, I wanted him but thought the money Daniel Levy asked for was too much.
