Taye Taiwo vows to make impact at QPR

[Dale]

Taye Taiwo has vowed to make a quick impact at Queens Park Rangers when his move from AC Milan is completed.

The Nigeria defender claims a six-month loan deal has been agreed between the clubs, while Rangers say the transfer is "very close".

"I'm happy with the opportunity to play at QPR," Taiwo told BBC Sport.

"I don't know if there are professional footballers who just love to pick up monthly salary by sitting on the bench. I'm not in that category."

The 26-year-old has started only seven games since moving from Marseille to Inter Milan last summer.

"I need to settle down quickly and adapt to the rhythm that comes with playing in England," he said.

"I know only hard work, good performance, dedication, and passion will connect me with the fans but I'm prepared.

"I had an injury setback when I got to Milan and the negative impact was unpleasant.

"I'm looking forward to what lies ahead and I'm prepared to give my all to the QPR cause.

"It is not how long you stay at a club but the positive impact you make and I hope to bring all the positivity as a professional footballer."

Can't wait for this to be confirmed and see him in the Hoops. I love the guy's attitude and watching the clips of him he really seems to play with a smile on his face as it were, and that positive vibe around the place in the midst of a relegation battle can only be a good thing.....

Is it possible that the delay in transfers (from abroad) is because the club wants to ensure that they do not have any of the sort of problems they had with Ali last season?
