NASSER El Khayati was out and about in the local community this week, popping in to Fielding Primary School in Ealing to check out a ‘Gifted and Talented’ coaching session.

Children from years four and five took part in the lesson provided by QPR in the Community Trust.



“It is great to see these kids,” R’s winger El Khayati told www.qpr.co.uk.



“It is absolutely fantastic to play football with them, and I really enjoyed it – it’s what I love to do! It’s what I have always been doing.



“It takes me back to when I was small. I used to play all the time, maybe six or seven hours a day! When I see them playing, it gives me some flashbacks.”



El Khayati, a January signing from Burton Albion, certainly got involved in the session, demonstrating a few clever tricks of his own for the children to learn.



And the 27-year-old seemed to enjoy his time at the school just as much as the excited youngsters.



“It is great to see how QPR is working in the community,” he added. “It is very important that we do this as a club. I was at the stadium earlier this week with some children too, and it is great to be involved in it all.”



While enjoying his time-out from training, El Khayati is fully-focused on the remaining two matches of the season.



The R’s travel to Burnley on Monday afternoon before hosting Bristol City at Loftus Road for the final match of the campaign on 7th May.



“I hope I get the chance to play in one of the games, maybe both – maybe not!” he said. “And if I don’t start, I have to make sure I am ready as a sub.



“That is for the gaffer to decide but I hope I get some minutes in my legs.”



El Khayati really announced himself in W12 with a last-minute winner against Charlton earlier this month, and he says he has settled in quickly at the club.



“I have been here for more than two months now and have already seen a big change in the time I have been at the club,” he said.



“We have all really come together, and week by week we are becoming more of a team, and building relationships together. That is what it is all about, and this can really benefit us for next season.



“We want to win at Burnley. It doesn’t matter for me about the opponents. We know they need to win to get promoted, but we will try to get the three points for us.”
