Obtaining a work-permit should be little trouble for a player who was voted Best Player of the Under-20 World Cup inside the past twelve months.

Henrique gave his first interview to the UK media today, describing the chance to move to QPR as ‘a fantastic opportunity’ to make his way in the European game for a club with ambition.

Speaking to The Sun, Henrique said: “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.

“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, for me, England has the most exciting league in the world.”
