AC Milan are reportedly planning to turn Adel Taarabt's loan move from QPR into a permanent one in the summer and could pay over £5m to secure his signature.

Taarabt has already made quite an impression at the Italian giants since joining last month, scoring two goals in four games.

The Moroccan midfielder has always struggled to find his best form when he lacks motivation, but it seems that he's found it again after failing to make an impact on loan at Fulham in the first half of the season.

The former Spurs player would probably want to stay in Milan, even if QPR recall him in the event of promotion from the Championship, and who can blame him.

Last week he said, 'I'm happy to have bounced back at AC Milan. It has been a dream for me."

“When I signed here, I always said that I had faith in my qualities, and that I thought I was up to playing for AC Milan. It's true that people were surprised because I wasn't playing at Fulham.

“I have spent here the best 10 days of my career. I have played in a wonderful stadium like that at Napoli. Then, at home to Bologna in another magnificent stadium.

And then on Wednesday I played my first match in the Champions League (against Atletico Madrid).”

For a player who's talent has never been in question it is evident that he needs to be in the right frame of mind and have the right surroundings to apply himself and make an impact in a team.

At Spurs, he made only 12 appearances in three seasons, and regretted his move to White Hart Lane. Now he's got a chance at an even bigger club, it is possible he could finally prove his worth, not in England, but in Italy.
