AC Milan left-back Taye Taiwo has completed his loan move to QPR for the rest of the season.

The 26-year-old joined the Rossoneri from Marseille in the summer but has struggled for a regular first-team berth.

Taiwo, who can also operate in midfield, had been linked with a January move to injury-plagued Arsenal, but has now joined QPR after securing a work permit.

He has got great ability, a good reputation in the game and a great personality.

Recently appointed QPR boss Mark Hughes was delighted to have secured Taiwo's signature.

"I have known of him for a long time and admired him from afar," Hughes said. "To get him now is a fantastic coup and a real statement of intent that we can attract the quality of player that he is.

"He has got great ability, a good reputation in the game and a great personality," Hughes said.
