QPR misfit Santos set for return to Portugal
Hevertton Santos is on his way out of QPR after just seven months at the club.
The right-back, who turns 24 on Saturday, is returning to Portugal, on loan to Vitória SC for the rest of the season.
The move is with a view to a possible permanent transfer in the summer and comes after Rangers head coach Marti Cifuentes made it clear he backed Harrison Ashby, leading to Santos being shipped out.
Santos has started four Championship matches since arriving from Estrela in June.
Cifuentes wanted another right-back brought in later in the summer transfer window and Harrison Ashby was duly signed on a season-long loan from Newcastle.
Ashby has struggled, but there will be no early return to Tyneside, with Cifuentes adamant that he wants to keep him in the squad.
Santos is therefore being moved on. He is due to undergo a medical on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, QPR are set to sign South Korean winger Yang Min-hyeok on loan from Tottenham for the rest of the season.
