QPR vice chairman Tony Fernandes has dismissed the idea that the club might re-sign Adel Taarabt.

Taarabt has been linked with a return to Loftus Road, having made over 150 appearances for the club between 2009-2015 and helping them to win the Championship title in 2010/11.

The 29-year-old has been at Benfica since 2015 but has yet to make an appearance for the first team and spent last season on loan with Genoa.

QPR are under a transfer embargo after breaching Financial Fair Play rules, but could make a signing if other sales mean they have not added to their overall wage bill.

However, Fernandes ruled out a return for Taarabt on Twitter, saying: "What are the chances of Adel coming back to QPR? Zero.
