Santos set to return to QPR

Vitória SC have indicated that they will not be taking up an option to buy Heverrton Santos.

West London Sport revealed in January that Santos, 24, was heading to the Portuguese club on loan from QPR for the rest of the season and that the deal included an option to buy him for around £1.7m.

He was shipped out after head coach Marti Cifuentes made it clear he preferred Harrison Ashby and that Santos was not part of his plans.

The Brazilian right-back joined Rangers from Estrela last summer but made only four Championship appearances before returning to Portugal.
