Djibril Cissé wants QPR exit in January

Reports this evening from Manchester indicate that Djibril Cissé issued a 'let me leave' plea to QPR soon after the final whistle at Old Trafford.

Cissé has found it difficult to adapt to life at the Hoops since his move and the the sacking of Mark Hughes on Friday is believed to have made his mind up.

Cissé joined QPR in January of this year on a 2½ year deal worth approximately £60k per week, but has failed to find popularity with the home crowd.

Cissé, 31, was subject to a dressing down by QPR fans last week via his Twitter page when he was told by a supporter he “couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo” following his team’s 3-1 defeat against Southampton.

He arrived at QPR at the start of this year with Bobby Zamora and directly attributed his move to Mark Hughes.  Cisse speaking in January said of Hughes:  "He wanted to sign me at Manchester City and now I am finally here with him at QPR"

Cissé, although keen to leave London, is said to be happy back in England.  He previously lived in the North West and sources close to the Frenchman say he would prefer a move back to that part of the country.
