Brazilian striker Henrique has said he is desperate to complete his proposed move to QPR.
Rangers are trying to thrash out an agreement for the 20-year-old Sao Paulo player, who is likely to move on an initial loan deal – if he obtains a work permit.
His signing would be a coup for new R’s boss Mark Hughes, as Henrique has attracted interest from numerous European clubs since starring in last year’s Under-20 World Cup.
“I know a lot of clubs are interested in me. But when I spoke to Mark Hughes and QPR, they made me feel very excited about their plans,” Henrique told The Sun.
“I want to go to a club with ambition and to play in London would be a fantastic opportunity.
“The manager is known everywhere. He played for great clubs like Manchester United and Barcelona.
“As a striker, I know I can learn so much from him. I’ve always wanted to play in Europe, and England has the most exciting league in the world.”
